Links with the Great Religions
What
exactly is meant by links with other religions .... and indeed links from what
to what? The
links I mean are connections that can be made amongst the various mainstream
world religions that display a similar theme and in consequence a common origin. The
newest world faith is Islam which tends to be a link in itself to Judaism and
Christianity, accepting the scriptures in some form or other from both faiths. However,
perhaps the most hybrid of all religions is that of Christianity for not only is
it split into various forms, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox , which in turn
themselves split at an alarming rate into further sub-divisions each with their
own peculiarities and idiosyncrasies. Christianity
in its Catholic form has very little to do with Judaism.
Perhaps the scrutinizer of the texts within these pages will perceive a
very great link between the Ancient Egyptian religion and the Catholic Faith.
Is not Osiris another form of Christ, the dying God resurrected for the
salvation of His people. Is not
Isis, Queen of Heaven and Mother of God, none other than The Blessed Virgin Mary
by a different name. And is not
Horus, the eternal fighter of evil and comforter of mankind none other than the
Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, which is not only in each one of us but also
specially, imbued in our own Sovereign by exactly the same principle as the
incarnation of Horus in the Pharaoh. Protestantism
firmly plants its feet on the foundations of Judaism with its adherence to the
lack of symbolism and the relinquishing of a sacrificial priesthood for a
ministry with non mystical sacraments. However,
the overriding link that binds almost every religion is the conception of the
Divinity as light. Christ is
the Light of the World, Ra is also the light of creation and in the Hindu Faith
God is perceived as the Divine Light. In
certain aspects of Buddhism Nirvana is referred to as the sublime light and now,
as we have seen in earlier sections of this work, even scientists, perceive the
essence of creation itself as light. In
reality it is probably true to say that there as many religions as people, for
even peoples of the same faith and denomination have differing opinions on
certain aspects. Just think of the
variations of ideas and opinions concerning the Virgin Birth and Immaculate
Conception! Many
people argue that religion is a man made invention to suit the desire of the
individual to come to terms with the fact that ultimately this mortal coil will
be no more. We just can not accept
this and so our superior brains have to invent ideas that can be transmuted into
beliefs. How
many Christians, Sunday by Sunday, who blindly say the Nicene Creed ,
actually believe what it states verbatim?
I suppose it is fair to say that it encapsulates a broad outline of what
has been generally believed by Christians throughout the past two millennia
since the time of Constantine the Great who actually formulated it. We
must recall that Constantine was originally a worshipper of the Sun and also
Isis! Could
this be the source of so many similarities between the Catholic Faith and the
religion of Ancient Egypt ... and what is more could it be too blasphemous to
suggest that Jesus himself might have been a member of that cult?
On that question I end this work! |
