THE MAGI:
I find no real fault in Constantine?s inclusion or
plagiarization of earlier and other systems of thought or their
symbology into Roman Empire social engineering. The problem I
see is the nature of the knowledge that they sought to prevent
average people from gaining. Knowledge is power and knowledge in
the hands of the few is a corrupting power. They have used
mind-fogging projections to enslave and make people live in fear
of demons and other constructs.
?Among the most famous?and fiercest?of the laws that Moses is
shown to bring down from Mt. Sinai are the ones that criminalize
the practice of magic. ?There shall not be found among you a
soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,? decrees Moses.
?Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.? (From Biblio: Deut 18:
10; Exod. 22: 18.) Magic working is condemned with equal fervor
in the Christian Bible, where it is explicitly kinked with all
the other outrages of paganism: ?The fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, {Yes, and the Catholics had more idols
than the pagan pantheon especially when you include the saints
along with ?Laddio, Daddio and Spook?.} and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death.? (From Biblio: Rev. 21: 8.)
Ironically, an intriguing and illuminating clue to the function
of sorcery in the pagan world is buried away in one of the most
beloved passages of the Christian Bible. ?Three wise men? come
in search of the newborn Jesus, or so goes the conventional
English translation of Matthew 2: 1-2, ?for we have seen his
star in the east, and have come to worship him.? The ?wise men?
are plainly called ?magi? in the Greek text, the plural form of
?magus,? a word that was used among the pagans of Babylonia and
Persia to identify seers, soothsayers and sorcerers. ?Magus? is
the root of ?magic,? and so we might more accurately call the
men who followed a star to Bethlehem the three magicians.
?Magus? came to be used in Jewish and Christian circles as a
derogatory term to describe someone who trafficked in black
magic; a sorcerer, a deceiver, even a poisoner. But the original
meaning of the word in the pagan world was honorable and even
exalted?? (1)
Then there are the constant proclamations that various ?experts?
make about ESP. Stanford Research Institute included the
inventor of the laser and many fine scientists that these
so-called ?experts? are seldom able to evaluate or as debunkers
are paid to marginalize. Russell Targ?s book Limitless Mind
including a foreword by Jean Houston is a great book for the
truly open-minded individual. Targ's book - which is the study
of consciousness and the ethereal Matrix at a high scientific
level says: "...forced-choice ESP tests are an inefficient way
to elicit psi functioning: they always have an additional burden
of boredom and mental noise (AOL). In the above studies, the
experimenters, on average, had to carry out 3,600 trials to
achieve a statistically significant result. With the
free-response type of experiment, such as remote viewing, we
typically have to do only six to nine trials." (2) Does it not
make sense to ?observe? all the avenues for wisdom that we are
blessed with?
