Jesus Silenced
How Christianity's mind-control system destroyed Jesus'
promise of spiritual freedom.
- Historical Jesus distinguished from visionary Christ.
- Origins of visions of Ezekiel, Ark of Covenant, Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, Christ Story, Holy Grail, and Hildegard of Bingen.
- Origins of Christianity, Shroud of Turin, Stonehenge, astronomy, and of the sacred geometry of temple, synagogue, and cathedral construction.
Two members of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature--the late Charles Longstreet Weltner and Lee Perry--accidentally stumbled upon a divination mandala (pattern of lines) used by ancient seers to induce visions. Line-form optical illusions which you can see for yourself within this line pattern correspond to all of the word-form images of the biblical stories of Ezekiel's visions, the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, and Solomon's Temple, and to some of the word-form images of the Christ Story.
Those persons who are interested in ancient science will see images within this pattern of lines which define the four classical vaults and the classical dome set upon pendentives that are architectural and engineering features of the sacred geometry of temple, synagogue, and cathedral construction. They also will see within this line pattern a map of the ancient sun-centered universe of the third millennium BCE. And they will see within this line pattern the ancient deity symbol, known as the "Shekinah," or the "name of God," before which King David danced, in use at Stonehenge, thousands of years before King David, to define the rising and setting directions of the sun and moon during each solar year.
Greek Christians referred to this line pattern as the Katapetasma. Ancient Hebrews called it the "Pargod" or "Bar Goda
." Continental and insular Celts called it the Greille, which is a word for "grill" in the Irish-Gaelic and Old-French languages. The Grail chalice or Mass chalice may be seen within this line pattern in
Figure 1. The laws of mathematical probability indicate that the Holy Grail (i.e., holy grill) has been rediscovered.
This rediscovery gives Jewish and Christian lay persons, as well as clergy and academicians, a new tool for biblical exegesis (analysis) with which they may draw a bright line between biblical history of visionary experiences and
biblical history of actual events and real people. Adherents and students of Judaism will learn why the Prophet Jeremiah convinced Jews to abandon many ancient cosmic concepts, including the Queen of Heaven and the Ark of the
Covenant. They will watch Judaism discard its polytheism and henotheism and grow into the monotheism for which it currently should be proud. Students of Christianity will learn the origin of the Christ vision, as distinguished
from the Jesus history. Christian lay persons will learn what academicians and seminary-educated clergy always
have known about the Christ Story, which is that a bright line must be drawn between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith before Christian fundamentalists, and other biblical literalists, can abandon exoteric
Christianity's "believe and obey" dogmas, and can enjoy the spiritual growth offered by esoteric Christianity.
On the theory that pictures are worth thousands of words, compare Illustration 1 with Figure 2.
Illustration 1 is a photograph of a statuette of Jupiter Dolichenus or El. El is the Lord-God of the Bible, that is, the God
for whom Israel was named. Will you consider whether or not this bronze image of God (which was cast by persons who did not consider themselves bound by Jewish laws against image-making) might have been divined from the optical
illusion created in Figure 2 by boldfacing some of the lines of the Holy Grail? And what do you see in The Docetae, an early sect of Christians, believed that the body
of Christ was a "mere optical illusion," and that Christ's body appeared on a cross on the Katapetasma or Greille, a heavenly veil centered on the north pole star, as in Too much?
Not enough? Answer those questions for yourself, or allow your clergy-person to answer them for you, remembering that the Jesus of history promised you spiritual freedom (John 8:32) rather than bondage to the Christian Church's
"believe and obey" system of mind-control!
The book titled Jesus Silenced, and subtitled How Christianity's mind-control system destroyed Jesus' promise of
spiritual freedom, will be available at this Web Site. No publication date can be promised because additional data is being found almost daily. For instance, the author recently has found the Coena Cypriani, a Medieval
document, which surely is the most hilarious biblical parody and satire ever written. In the meantime, you can read Appendix One from that book to
compare twenty-first-century Christian fundamentalism with the pre-Nicaean Christianity of the second century CE. Persons who read Jesus Silenced
or the author's other writings will understand why a former Southern Baptist minister once commented that exoteric Christianity, nowadays called Christian fundamentalism or literalism, as distinguished from esoteric
or visionary Christianity, is the longest-continuing and most destructive fraud ever perpetrated upon humanity in general and women in particular. The fraud consists of the clergy's continuing brainwashing of Christian
pewsitters so they will believe that biblical histories of visionary experiences are, instead, biblical histories of actual events concerning real people. The fraud consists of the Church's having rewritten the history of a
Jewish peasant who was a tireless scrapper for the spiritual rights and responsibilities of individuals, so as to make it appear: (1) that he was, instead, the only incarnation of the Creator; (2) that he intended to
create a new, institutionalized religion to provide the only access to the Creator; and (3) that he chose the Church's hierarchy and clergy to be his only successors in that God-monopoly. The destruction consists
of the loss of human life, and the environmental destruction, which were the necessary consequences of the Church's hundreds of years of efforts to terrify its pewsitters into unquestioning obedience of the Church's mandates, and
into unquestioning tolerance of the Church's unholy alliances with the power structures of government and commercial enterprise.

NEW DATA ADDED IN 2003
The author often is asked whether or not a final draft of Jesus Silenced ever will be completed. The book has been in progress now for several years. Research continues. New data arrives almost daily. The author
prepares and presents academic papers to appreciative audiences of academicians several times a year. The substance of those academic papers then is added to the "final draft" of Jesus Silenced.
Should the author die before completion of Jesus Silenced, his research, data collection, and writings will be available for any person willing to expend his/her time and financial resources to produce a work product
which commends itself to all Christians but which will be read by only a few. Why only a few? Because the "Unholy Trinity" of power structures, that is, churches, governments, and commercial enterprises, and their
propagandists, that is, the print and electronic news media, will reward the continuator with a wall of silence. As they did the author. Those three power structures, and their mouthpieces, believe that these matters must be
censored and suppressed so that the common pewsitters upon whom organized religion depends for its money and property never will know the actual origins, as distinguished from preached origins, of their faith.
You are a brave soul to be reading about matters known only to a few academicians through the existence of institutionalized Christianity. Why
brave? Because institutionalized Christianity remains to this day a terrorist organization, having replaced torture chambers and firings at the stake with firings from one's job and with threats of perpetual fiery tortures in
Dante's fictional "Hell." The perpetual punishments of "Hell" allegedly are reserved for those pewsitters who refuse to believe and to obey the preachments of their clergy. However, "Hell" is pure
fiction, unsupported by the actual words of the Bible. But the fiction of "Hell" certainly works to compel belief and obedience! Unless you attended seminary or Bible college, you probably do not realize that the
Hebrew and Koine Greek words of your Bible which have been translated into the English language as "Hell" actually are nothing but references to posited places in Hebrew and Greek mythology, and to "Gehenna,"
the former ever-burning municipal landfill or garbage dump of the Old City of Jerusalem, formerly located outside of Jerusalem's Dung Gate. (Nowadays, Gehenna, the former landfill or town dump, is gone. Only a rocky valley
remains.) The bodies of Hebrews who had been executed for serious crimes were unceremoniously tossed into the fiery pit of Gehenna (the town dump) instead of being given a proper Hebrew burial. This punishment after death was
loathsome to believing Hebrews. Nowadays, if you go to "Hell," that is, the rocky valley where the town dump formerly was located, you best take with you a bottle of potable water and some sun lotion because the sun often
makes the valley hot as "Hell"! Actually, "Hel" was the ancient goddess of the underworld of Germanic mythology. That mythological underworld was posited to be cold, not hot. Thus, our folk expression that,
"It's as cold as Hell."

Hildegard von Bingen
.
Hildegard was a twelfth-century nun and abbess. She was born in 1098 and died
in 1179. Hildegard is known to modern feminists as the first and foremost feminist of western history. What she accomplished would be notable had it been done in the twenty-first century, but is absolutely astonishing because it
occurred in the twelfth-century when nuns or abbesses were expected to remain silent in their cloisters instead of walking the roads and preaching to the masses. And what she preached! For instance, after speaking with the common
folk along the roadsides, Hildegard wrote a letter to the Holy Father proving that he was a poor excuse for a Christian! And you thought that the women members of NOW are cheeky about abortion and other modern social issues!

Readers of the referenced academic paper learn that in the Holy Trinity of the pre-Christian, pre-Celts of Ireland, the sun was regarded as
the father, the Planet Venus was regarded as the mother, and the moon was regarded as their son. ("On the third day He arose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, where He sits at the right hand of the father. . . ."
That is precisely what the moon does in reference to the sun!) More shocking to believing Christian pewsitters is the fact that the ancients were not sun-worshipers, planet-worshipers, or moon-worshipers. Such sayings are Christian
defamation of a pre-Christian religion. Instead, the heavenly lights were regarded by the pre-Christian, pre-Celts of the British Isles to be mere symbols or avatars of the Unseen God at the Cosmic Center of Creation. (That Cosmic
Center is symbolized as the center point of the Shekinah symbol.) A modern equivalency for such symbolism would be the vesica pisces fish-form often displayed by believing Christians on bumper-stickers attached to the
back bumpers of their motor vehicles. That abstract drawing of a fish is a symbol for the God of those Christian motorists, not some evidence that they worship fish! Readers of the academic paper learn that at the latitude of
Stonehenge, the sun, moon, and the Planet Venus still do a heavenly dance around the posited Unseen Creator God at the Cosmic Center of the Shekinah symbol for God, providing adepts with a clock and calendar far more accurate than
those found in modern scientific establishments. Believe it or not, the most accurate of modern clocks are set nowadays according to the endings and beginnings of the eight-year cycles during which the Planet Venus completes its
drawing of its pentacle on the posited dome of the Heavens! No wonder the ancients expressed this mathematical reality by saying that the Planet Venus is the "Queen of Heaven," and that the pentacle was her symbol!
Institutionalized Christianty demonized the pentacle so its male God could supersede entirely the ancient goddess.
New data added in 2005: The Da Vinci Code Several readers have asked me to add to these web pages a short but complete statement
of what the Holy Grail
really is, according to the original authors of the Grail literature, instead of according to the plethora of modern commentators. Their purpose was to help high-school and college literature students to write accurate reports about the
Holy Grail. To learn what the Holy Grail really is, and also what it is not, according to the authors who originally wrote the Grail literature, click on:

The Passion of the Christ
,
Mel Gibson's movie, was based, in part, upon the 1823 vision of Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German Roman Catholic nun. The underlying purposes of that vision, (1) which vision was divined from line-form optical
illusions seen within the Grail Mandala, were (2) to make fun of (to satirize and to parody) the modern Christian concept that God appears in human form (is anthropomorphic), thereby contradicting the original
Christian concept that God is formless (is aniconic) and, (3) to prove that the Christ Story, in part, is an astrological allegory for the yearly circuit of the sun around the Ecliptic circle in the sky, and through
the twelve Signs of the Zodiac, because early Christians believed in astrology as well as astronomy and, (4) to prove that it was not until the Ninth Century, A.D., that Christ first was portrayed in Christian art and
iconography as being affixed to the Cross, with His hands and feet pierced with nails, as a dying sacrifice for humankind. Persons who would like to read and to see evidence (1) that Sister Emmerich's vision was based
upon her contemplations of line-form optical illusions divined from the Grail Mandala should click on:

New Data Added in 2007
A new academic paper added to these web pages in 2007 encourages the reader to join the efforts to end violent conflicts between all adherents of Islam, and Islamic Fundamentalists, and between Islamic Fundamentalists and Christians.
Another academic paper added in 2007 considers The Mystical City of God, a series of so-called visions usually attributed to Sister Mary of Agreda, the so-called Blue Nun.
