“ m The genial gentle an with horns , shown

Wh en Jacob u as h wrestled with the lord , the bo t w with Moloc ill Iho , as w be seen by reading the original Hebrew h rm h . u e a text This is lord I O , the s preme , the p rodite god or idol of the pagans .

Blessing that the Hebrews say before eating “ Blessed art thou Io Eloh anu Melech who bringeth forth brea d from the earth . ’ Krinsk s 4 8 . y First Lessons in Hebrew , The pagans claimed that their god Moloch ‘

. u of the latter The Persian b ll christ , the son ll of Ormazd , ki ed by Ahriman , the Lord of

Darkness , and all the other christs that sport horns must share the infamy of the great god u B Moloch , alias Sat rn , alias Israel , alias Ilda aot h or Devil . The heaven of Moloch is in the North east , and it is paved with gold , and his thr one is made of lapis lazuli . You will notice that the priest is offering up a child to the great god who so loved human flesh and blood that he caused his own son to be slaughtered . There was also another reason for the human sacrifices by the priests and sorcerers is ok and secret societies , that , the desire to ev e the dead and summon up phantoms for consul

t at ion . These ghosts are very fond of blood , in fact it is difficult for them to materialize unless they can absorb the steam arising from human u blood . It is tr e that some sorcerers have evoked but the dead with the blood of kids or lambs , the goat and lamb christs are ancient redeemers , whose efficacy is not to be compared with the man christ . Elephas Levi says that a phantom will attract the vapor of blood and human cor l s pusc e in the air as a magnet attra cts iron filings . “ They have built the high places of Tophet in the Valley of Hinnom to burn their sons and ” daughters in the fire . They made their chil u dren pass thro gh the fire to Moloch , forsooth , u u u beca se yo ng children , like yo ng pigs , are tender and easy to chew . They cooked their own

flesh and blood on the reeking alter of the Devil , even as the great and good Ahaz served up his son for the delectation of the mob , and sitting u , u down to the delicio s feast ate p the heir ! ! and

. u hope of Israel Then , chopping p the remnants u in into sa sages , he exposed and hawked them (2) c is u the market pla e , crying It tr e they come but see high , what they are made of . Each sausage is stamped with the Tetragrammaton u u and st ffed with the royal ho se of Israel .

The fact that the Jews worshipped on Sat urn- day would indicate that they were w orsh ip pers of Saturn or Moloch . The sacrifice of th e first- born unto the Lord was required by the Old

Testament . Human sacrifices by proxy still u s rvive in parts of England , where at Christmas time the goodman goes forth to hunt for an old f r ur wi e to sacrifice , and et ns with an old log , u which he plays is his wife, and p ts her on the u fire . This takes the place of the h man being I rt his ancestors formerly offered up . n He ford n k l shire , an ox , represe ting Moloch , is i led every u l Christmas , and the ch rch bell tol s at its death in imitation of the crucifixion of the bull christ un h e or s at the winter solstice .

Egypt , also named Isis and Meri , which goddess we have stolen and worship under the name of sun Mary . When the entered the stable or sign u u u was of Ta r s , a christ was prod ced , or god reborn as a bul l . That is why Christ was born

(3) When the sun entered the sign of Aries or re the Ram , God was born , or Christ came as the a son L mb of God , the of the Ram , identical with

u . R—ama , the seventh incarnation of the god Vishn Gera1d Massey . In Thebes the principal ob j ect worshipped by the pagan ancestors of Chris t ianit y was the Ram . A h h of h t the eig t incarnation God, when t e sun e u n-i enter d the sign of Fishes , abo t t he begi r h ning of the Ch istian Era , God was reborn as t e and was i Great Fish or Fisher of Men , sla n on d Friday for the redemption of the worl .

Still there 8 no law against belie ing in the story of the Jew Christ born in the u Fa Manger of Bethlehem . Even the Ch rch t h ers claimed that Christ was the Good Seara

In the Catacombs of Rome is a picture of a supper at which seven persons sit down to eat l r seven loaves an d two sma l fishes .

The Hebrews in t he wilderness indul ged in this pagan idolatry and sacrificed bullocks and lambs on the altar for the remission of their sins, l and erected a golden calf . The golden ca f was christ , and his mother was the sacred cow Hathor was or Mary . This Meri or Mary an astral s u n goddess , the moon godde s , the Q een of Heave , r represented as standing in the c escent moon . t h e ul She is identical with fo goddesses Astarte, oreth Venus , Ishtar , Asherah and Asht , the abomination of the Sidonians . Ishtar is the au same as Easter , and we celebrate Easter bec se

- the sun god arose at the full moon of Easter . The Sacred Cow of—India is worshipped as the s 224 . Mother of the God Book of all Religions , You will see in the idol stores the graven u image of Mary , the Q een of Heaven , standing r u f in the c escent moon , and a dog cro ching be ore her offering her a cake with a hole in it . This he cake is t Mark of the Beast , the female symbol of the cow Hathor, the Assyrian Grove , the hi n sacred Eye , w ch was worn by the Christia and pagan priests in their foreheads and on their ct i hands . It is the Sa of the goddess Maha Sact i u nd is Deva , called beca se it is sacred a u u offered p as a sacrifice, closely related to sacr m and the cauda l appendage . The thre e links are the symbol of the herm aph rodite godhead . The link is the femal e emblem and three is the sign of the male . The Eye within the tent or triangle or compasses is an object of (7) - worship and adoration . The three cornered

Ency . Brit . This holy god , in the form of a s u tone, is st ck in the wall of the Kaaba , the e u shrin at Mecca , which shrine was b ilt by

Abraham , who was fond of chasing after gods n with tar ished reputations . This god in Mecca. is ou a meteorite seven inches long , br ght down u from Heaven by Gabriel , and abo t

And this is the cross ansata of Egypt , ! anx or cross of (life) , a combination of the cross

of the bull and the sacred symbol of Isis . The High Priest of Egypt wore t hree cross ansat as

nk s - l and three li on his breast p ate , symbols h of the trinity . Many of t e pagan religions , u from which o rs descended , used only the main u portion of the cross , the shaft or pright , the

Christians . In one hand is the circle and in band fleur another a trident or de lys , a male u s emblem . Aro nd his neck is a large ro ary or u stole . Thrusting his male head thro gh this female emblem is a symbol of life and a saving rite. Putting his hand through a rosary is e just as effective . We can trace the spotl ss lineage of our beloved religion back through t h e dim v istas of time to a very archaic and rotten ancestry . In both the Christian and pagan symbolism the oval in which the saints and gods do stand is often represented as composed of roses and s constitutes a ro ary . The horseshoe brings uc u good l k beca se it is identical with the cave , the arch and t h e grove and is the sacred emblem u dh of the goddess Mary or Astarte . Both B d a and Christ are represented as standing in the u t horseshoe or Royal Arch . I concl de tha the Masonic Holy Royal Arch and the oval (15) u above the ch rch altar , in which the Virgin anasseh stands , represent the Grove that M set u u 2 2 1 p in the Ho se of the Lord , Kings , , and that u 2 Josiah b rnt at the brook Kidron , Kings , t u The stole, worn by the pries s , is eq ivalent to ,

Th e Sabbatic G oat or God of th e Sabbath .

sun n When the entered the sign of Capricor , ' hr it was reborn as , or c ist came as the goat , that individual on whom the Jews used to load al l their sins and then drive him forth into the wilderness . They sacrificed goats on the altar because the goat was one of the ancient re deemers . Caesar says of Egyptian sacrifices : Imprecations were uttered over the head of a un the expiatory victim , ro d whose horns a piece of byblus was rolled . The animal was generally led to some barren region sacred to

Typhon . It is in this custom that lies the origin of the scapegoat of the Jews , who , when the ass - headed god was rejected by the Egyp it tians , began sacrificing to another de y , the ” red heifer . It was claimed by Madam Blavatsky and Elephas Levi that the hermaphr odite Goat of

Mendes , or Baphomet , was anciently an object of worship and adoration by the mystic societies ’ and at the Witches Sabbath . In Mysteries 7 75 u u of Magic , and , the a thor th s describes a Witches ’ Sabbath “Approach stealthily this cross roads among the rocks . A hoarse and

u u u u , f neral tr mpet is heard , l rid torches b rn di u on every side , a sorderly assembly s rges u u aro nd an empty seat . All look aro nd in u expectation , then s ddenly fall prostrate and ‘ ’ ’ u : m tter He is here , tis himself .

Then he stands up with a d scord u u hi s ant la gh and distrib tes to favorites gold ,

sons . The Goat of Mendes is pictured by Elephas

Lw i as a regul ar god . He wears the male emblem on hi s head like all gods in good standing u u and holds p three fingers , and has the do ble c u u triangle in his forehead , and the ad ce s , or

u With one hand he coag lates or creates , and with the other he dissolves or destroys . “ Let us say boldl y and loudl y that all the inferior initiates of the occult sciences and the u betrayers of the Great Arcan m have adored , do and will always adore that which is signified by the frightful figure of the Sabbatic Goat. our u vi Mas Yes in profo nd con ction , the Grand ters of the ancient orders of the Templars adored ” — Baphomet . Elephas Levi . It will be seen by the chart that the Masonic coat of arms , u su consisting of the fo r zodiacal beasts , is p n ported o either side by the goat god Pan . r son u Pan , the Good Shephe d , the of De s , s a with the horns and feet of a goat , i the s me e ’ as the D vil or christ . At the Witches Sabbath ni in England , the women made ma kins , or images x of men , of clay or wa , and these they wor l shipped and p ayed with . And when these u images were properly m agnetized , they co ld perform miracles therewi th and sum mon up demons from the abyss . If they possessed sufficient will power and knew the occult and use ul secret form of words to , they co d play in that the manik was an enemy , and then stick him u d thro gh the heart with a nee le , and the ul next morning the enemy wo d be dead . If (19) u their magical power was s fficiently potent , they could summon a satyr or subordinate goat god to take the place of the manikin and consummate the Sabbatical Their Spells were said to be to reduce a human being to

l sii nil by which the soul wa ks down . This is ar

’ of the Serpents Catacombs of Egypt . ’ The countersign of the Witches Sabbath

fice sizzled to attract the phantoms and ghost s . i And the devotees , Sing ng mystic songs , danced hand in hand in a circle around the god P an. They used the holy grail like the churches and nd t e mystic societies , a h drafts from this poison ous cu p , the singing the whirling dance and the incense from the al tar brought on the oft times fat al frenzies in which the victims fell u shrieking to the gro nd , as they do among cer nd , a tain Christian sects . They were seized ‘ f u m possessed by o l fiends from the Pit , or ele en

tary spirits , and sometimes by the spirits of serpents that materialized themselves in t he writhing human victims and c rawled out of t he

prostrate bodies in plain view of the audience . There in the blackest hour of the night the

Vinum Sabbati was prepared , a few grains of

white powder thrown into a glass of water . And each one that drank found himself attended a u un by companion, a shape of glamo r and (20)

The palm tree , the candle and the Asherim are symbols and images of Baal , and the two u s last are offered p as acrifices , corresponding to the pillars and candl es in the worship of h Je ovah . Around the temple of Jehovah as well as the temple of Baal , in the Holy Land , e u Th di wer the ancient n nneries . e Ka shim or Holy Ladies lived in tents arranged in a circle a u t h e bo t temme , and on each side of each tent

or Fornix stood a Knight of Kadish . The pious people who desired to worship god gave up to t h e guard a shekel (sixty cents) and en t e ed t h e r into tent of the Kadish , and the money

so collected went to the service of god , which means the priestly white slavers and the Wor

shipful Knights of Kadish . The Kadishim were u the same as the Deva Dasi , the conc bines and t h e u s dancing girls of Hind temple , the slaves “ of the gods . There is reason t o believe that the Israelites at an early date applied the name h of Baal to Jehova .

” u i The doctrine of trans bstant ation , or the myth that the bread and wine become the u act al body and blood of God , originated among u w r the Hind s , and e stole it f om them . The r al god B ahma was the astr light or magnetism , and when the p riests charged the hosts with m agnetism , they were charged with god , and u conseq ently were gods . It is said that each 1 s separate part of this blood sacrifice a Christ , so thousands of Christs were served up at a v feast to be eaten by the savage de otees , and each ca nnibal ate a whole Christ to save his u da stard soul .

The Eucharist w as a hum an sacrifice . The

Thus they subject ed their savior to the foulest method of annihilation ll to save their worthless soul s from He .

In this connection read the Lord s i eu Prayer , in which the ignorant worsh pper deav ors to persuade the Lord not to lead him into temptation . According to the writers of the Bible , who were probably liars , He hardened the heart of Pharaoh , commanded the Israelites ut l S ri u to steal , p an evi pi t into Sa l and sent u lying messages to the prophets . In Sam el it says that the Lord moved David to number but Israel , according to Chronicles it was the i Devil who p ut h m up to it . The words divine i i and dev l are from Deva , the sh ning one, the Inc u . l Hind god of light Light is a so , and

- h v h Lu cifer is a sun god identical with Ya a . The worshippers of Dyaus said that Ahura

and have named it centrosom e . It is a being us b uc u o f stellar form , located j t a ove the n le s (64) or nerve centre of the cell . It is a creator whose magic far excels the feats of gods or men . It divides one living being into two , splitting the brain and the body of t h e cell in hal ves 111 such a manner t hat the two individuals produced are the exact duplicates of the parent cell in form and character . The cell brain crom at in t matter, called , is composed of s rings which are supposed to contain all the hereditary traits . The division of each one of these cromo somes into equal hal ves gives to the individuals produced a Similar character . The centrosome but di i is one in the beginning , before vid ng the cell it divides itself into two persons , so that one of the centrosomes may accompany each of the two cells .

a strong wind , large fires , and above all the points

for the craving of the gods for blood sacrifices . The spirits and phantoms were mistaken for gods

and my blood ran cold . The eyes seemed to search my very soul with an expression that made me think that it was the face of the Supe

blood of a black cat , which comes in powdered ’ r rai fo m . This , together with a Sparrow s b n, (80) burnt upon t he altar will produce a smoke or vapor of peculiar odor and a color unknown and u a u nn med by h man beings , being a com

bination of many colors . From the smoke of this magic altar it is possible for Spirits to ma t erialize so , that even persons without the astral

vision can see them . Sometimes a band of occul tists will meet u hi dl aro nd their altar fire , w ch is kin ed between the horns of the goat and fed with the ancient blood of a black cat and other material from

which ghosts can materialize . The occultists

stand in a row hand in hand , the Grand Master al at the head by the tar , and all strongly com iri al mand that a sp t Sh l manifest . AS the com mand passes from one brother to another it n ll gai s force , and the power of the wi is enor usl u m m o y a gmented , and after a ti e there issues

the members . The materialized body is soft

and moist and cold as a corpse . When they wish him to disappear they stand again hand

in hand , the Grand Master next to the Spirit , and send the com mand from one to the other ordering the ghost to depart , and he will again become weak and wabbly and sink down to the floor and disappear through the same nail hi hole from w ch he emerged . If the company wishes to engage in a dan r us f u ge o experiment , one hal of them will occ py one side of the hall and the other half the other u side .

through the heart . In order to lay this devil u u they have conj red p, they have to clothe

Th e Great King Solom on.

’ Solomon s Song is very choice reading and would be eminently appropriate to the foul est u ul book on earth , the circ lation of which wo d be a criminal offense under the law . The Chris tian compilers of the Bible have asserted in the headings of the Song that it represents the love

of Christ and the Church . They were not only u but ul wilf l liars , fo ly besmirched their own ur w as u 1 200 ch ch , for that abo t years before their church existed . The whole context Shows that it has nothing to do with the Christian u but m Ch rch , is evidently the hy n book of the u was ch rch of Ashtoreth , of which Solomon a u deacon . Any instit tion that foists upon the world such vile obscenity as the inspired word t e of God , is the Temple of the Devil , the an ’ chamber of Hell , an annex of the Witches ul u Sabbath . It sho d tterly perish from the

face of the earth . In fact , the die is already a c st , the handwriting is on the wall , the hand

of death is on it now . Solomon was Grand Master of the secret

societies . Those things that were esoteric or u i secret or occ lt in magic and relig on , claimed r by the priests to be too sac ed for the people, i were either crim nal or too vile to utter . That

was the only reason for keeping them secret . Solomon had cheated hi s brother Adonij ah out of the throne to which the latter was eu u titled by birth , and Adonijah tho ght that he ul sho d at least be allowed to have Abishag , the (89) sixteen- year- old beauty that they had put in bed with the dying King David to save his life . d u An he ind ced Bathsheba , the mother of o u S lomon , to make the req est of the king . When Solomon had‘ heard the petition of Bath Sheba he said : And why dost thou ask Abi ” ask hi i shag for Adonijah , for m the k ngdom also .

Abishag is the onl y jewel in the Jewish - crown the most priceless legacy that King David left A perfect beauty is more to be desired than the

All the good things in Israel are reserv ed for the king . T hen Solomon swore by the Lord say “ ing : God do so t o me and more also if Adon ijah hath not Spoken this word against his own w life . No therefore as the Lord liveth Adon ” u ijah shall be p t to death this day . What ho! um m t h guards s on Benaiah , Commander of e

Knights of the Mystic Shrine of Asherah . be When Benaiah appeared , he bowed low fore the throne , and , raising his right hand , ’ made the occult Sign of the Witches Sabbath . “ : t he Then Solomon said Rise , O beloved of t h king , favorite of e gods of the groves and the gardens . The king hath w eighty matters to rt communicate to thee . It is repo ed that Adoni ur u jah , o brother, hath taken ref ge at the shrine of that second- rate God Jehovah and

doth cling t o the horns of the altar . And be hold all of Adonijah ’ s followers are devotees of ll ur Jehovah , while a of o partisans and all of you whom the king hath deigned to grace with

official rank are devotees of Baal and Asherah . Now the king commandeth that you seek out all of those Jehovah worshippers who have stood by Adonijah and eliminate them from the ut problem of life . Go in and o among them and u e slay each one your father and yo r m ther, u u if so be he yo r sister and yo r brother, that t y (90) u u thro gh the gates of Hell , c tting them with w barrows sa s and with of iron and with axes , u ur al em lating the clemency of o roy father , the hi AS bandit c ef . for Adonijah , fall upon him and slay him as he clings to the horns of the l u l i a tar . It is tr e that the a tar of a god s sacred ground and a refuge as a general proposition but general propositions do not apply to the n ki g , the king is above the law . What do I

care for these imaginary gods , they are all right s a ut out to c re children with , b they no ice with

Solomon sat in all his glory upon the great

throne of ivory and gold , flanked by the twelve n braze lions of the zodiac , and the Knights of the Mystic Shrine of Asherah in dazzling re

galia guarded the beloved of the Lord . Around wi ake the throne, th n d swords and the three u dr t i h n ed golden shields , s ood the Pr nces of the sun Tribes of Israel , as the rays of the setting , reflected from the jeweled walls of cedar and i gold , bathed in dazzl ng light the royal pano

’ And King Solomon s sacred , hermaphrodite Bill oat u yg , in trappings of p rple and gold , wearing ribbons on hi s horns and ribbons on olden t hi s his tail , stood beside the g throne with revered back to the audience in accorda nce with

the law in such case made and provided . And he informed the King in no uncertain words that he did not propose to be the goat any long

er, that the Knights of the Mystic Shrine of had s Asherah , that been assigned a priests to hi u serve him , one of the ghest gods , drank p all nd t h e wine sacrificed to him , a thus prevented h im u as u from getting as f ll a goat , as req ired (9 1) by the tenets of his religion . And further, u they did not give him exercise eno gh , they called him Baphomet and Devil and other hard names and took him up out of the pit for a walk u nl aro nd the town o y once a month , at dead of night , in the dark of the moon , when Hell u yawns , and the graves give p their dead . Upon u the concl sion of this divine oration , the whole audience crawled on their hands and knees up the steps of the golden throne and devoutly

” kissed the back of Baphomet , as we kiss the

male and female emblems on the Pax . u This pio s ceremony being completed , the u Great King , raising the royal sceptre , s mmoned to his exalted presence the Com mander of the Knights of the Mystic Shrine of Asherah “ ou and said : While y , Benaiah , my faithful l servant , go and kil Adonijah , my well beloved t o brother , I will hie me my devotions , for I can see that at the mystic shrine on yonder u u hilltop , the l scio s Asherah is yearning for me . u u My adored , my most bea tif l , my ravishing O t he one stands in the pen door of pagoda , the ul beautif gate ajar, stands there in all her pris a u u u tine loveliness , bea ty nadorned , yo ng and

She is my nun favorite , the incarnation of the Divine h Asherah , and s e is calling me to prayer . See h her beckoning me over wit that sweet hand , that angel hand that holds me , the King of the

h . Eart and Sea , a willing slave in its gentle grasp

She says the door is open wide , and all who will may enter in , and no one is denied . Then while Benaiah slew Adonij ah as he u cl ng to the horns of the altar , Solomon and his u u u and co rt in gorgeo s array , decked in p rple (92)

th o o Solomon loved e L rd , and the L rd loved ” u Solomon . They formed a mut al admiration nd : society , a in Gibeon the Lord said to Solomon “ l “ Ask what I sha l give thee . And Solom on buil t a high place before Jerusalem at the Mount of Corruption (Mount of Olives) dedicated to ” u h Ashtoreth , now replaced by the Ch rch of t e e c Ascension , re ted over the footprint made by Christ in the rock when h e jumped from th e earth to Al cyone . The Bible says that Ash oreth was of but t the abomination the Sidonians , f it happens that Asher , one o the aliases of the w h f Hebrew god , as t e husband o Ashtoreth Th e secret and mysterious name of the u of s t h f s preme God the Hebrew , e Ancient o n was E u A cients , Eh i Eh , prono nced in t hree h nd breaths , with and to ear a the name at low s t breath . Thi is the name tha was engraved on the great seal of Solomon , wherewith he u u e h conj red p d mons from the abyss , for e u was a potent wizard . By v i rt e of this great ru name and by bbing the seal , Solomon became t h nd u t Lord of e Demons , a Beelzeb b , a the u n ul u s d y s mmo s, wo d bob p erenely an

Pope Pius IX was accused of saying : Damn ”

Dalcho , a Masonic writer, asserts God was the first Grand Master and Adam the ” second . And Adam initiated Eve into the profound and archaic mystery of the square and the eye . It may be interesting to know what they did at the Witches ’ Sabbath and the meetings u of the ancient mystic societies . They m rdered

their christ , that is what they did , and the Christians have always charged that they of fered up human sacrifices . I should judge from the ritual of the Masons that it originated he if u in t sacr ice of a h man being , that in ancient times human beings were sacrificed in the mystic s societies , from ome of which , perhaps , Ma

sonry descended . Here are extracts from an old ritual as near as the author can decipher ua : them , not g ranteeing that they are correct

t o tablets excavated at Babylon . nd u The great , learned a profo nd Irenaeus says that there must be four gospels because there

are four winds of heaven . This is a fair sample

of . is the logic of theologians The fact , there are four gospels because those four jumped from t h e floor onto the table at the coun cil of Nice . There was at tha t time so much doubt as to what a lleged sacred writings were inspired by God , that t h e delegates put them all together under the communion table one night at the close of the s u ession , and agreed that those that got p on top of the table during the night should be considered 120)

h They al so worship t e eagle and the Tree of Life . The 0 jibway picture writing Shows that the Indian Adam and Eve had the same disgracefu l “ ” Scandal in the garden of Eden . See Indians ,

Ency . Americana . It is clairned that Apollonius of Tyana (alleged to be the original of Paul and Christ) came through a m edium and said : Nine epistles m e P h araot es were made a present to by , a

Satrap of Taxila , between Babylon and India . These epistles contained all that is embraced in the present epistles claimed to have been ul u written by Pa . F rther, I retired to the Isle

of Patmos in 69 and 70 A . D . and wrote in a trance state an almost identical story with that

of the four gospels I obtained at Singapore . They treated of the four stages of t he life of ’ — u . u B ddha Antiq ity Unv eiled , Moses and God were mad at t he Midian ites because the Jews had entered into the tents of the Midianite ladies and worshipped Baal u u h e Poer, from which ens ed a plag e among t

Moses was wroth because they had saved all the women and children , and ordered all the males among the children to be killed and all the females to be turned over to the soldiers for outrage . And he ordered all the women mur dered except the virgins , of whom went to the soldiers bu and to the people , t the soldiers and the people were compelled to pay of these into (122) “ h use of t he the store o Lord 3200 in tithes . And the priests laid with the virgins at the door of ” the Tabernacle . Such a monstrosity of in i uit u n q y , s ch a fiend i carnate from the Shades of Hell is the senior mem ber of t h e firm of Moses

and the Lamb . The history of Moses is copied from the u history of Bacch s , who was called Mises by

. u was the Egyptians Like Moses , Bacch s born ur in Egypt , he sojo ned on Mt . Sinai , he passed u thro gh the Red Sea on dry land , he was a

lawgiver and wrote the laws on two tables , he was u fo nd in a box that floated on the water , u he smote a rock and wine g shed forth , and Bacchus was worshipped and these deeds of u his s ng in Egypt , Phenicia , Syria , Arabia and ’ — Greece before Abraham s day Doubts of In 3 1 fidels , .

78 . Doubts of Infidels , You will see that the Bible is dedicated to z King James , and that he is canoni ed in the u dedication , probably beca se he kept fifty mis tresses and was in the habit of becoming beastly

intoxicated without provocation . The only real revelations received by the priests and prophets of any religion were spiri t

.messages , and the Lord only knows whether (123) these were from God or the Dev il , from good or bad spirits . In fact it is claimed by som e Spirit uali st s that all the good Spirits are i n Heaven ’

out . with God and can t get In other words , they are not o in limbo , while those that were s good are at liberty to visit the loved Spots and fond friends of earth and indulge on the astral in their be m favorite pastimes , whether it a prayer eet u ing or a poker game . This is p rgatory , the next story above Hell , which is the earth . Gibbon said that Eusebius was a consum mate liar . The Gospel of Matthew and the Epistle to the Hebrews were his work , taken from the lives of Christ na and Apoll onius and the records of the Essenes and some of the Jewish and

Phenician legends . A Coptic version of the life of Apollonius in the possession of the monks of Seville , Spain , u 1458 u n abo t , was placed in the hands of J a Herm on w ez for translation . In the margin as a h Latin translation , in whic the name of Apollo nius had been changed to John among many other l falsifications . The Latin translation was a most h identical with the Gospel of St . John .

Bottomless Pit every thousand years , each one fastened by his tongue to a book on an endless u chain , which rises from s ch a fathomless depth of hellfire that it takes the victim a thousand (1 26) years to make the circuit .

but eventually disintegrates . Many a night I have been there in Hapenny

when the body lay m any miles away . These were u ll not ordinary dreams . I was act a y there , that

But the next time u di I went there in the body, I found the b il ng u in j st as I had seen it the vision . The favorite outing place of my doppleganger ’ ’ is the Devil s Half Acre , or Murderer s Para di se . It always flies to that obsessed and a u cc rsed spot hard by the gates of Tophet , close al round the hinges of Hell . Traveling l n the astr see ui but body , I can both the q ck and the dead , as al out I am ways there at night , the live ones are asleep , and only the spooks are abroad , prowl ’ in al g hither and yon in the moon s p e rays , visit in ik . g again , l e myself, the scenes of former crimes

r u - shack fo merly occ pied by a gun fighter, and watched the astral bodies as they glided to and

fro in the air .

There was Mr . B . with a red gash from ear to ear and a crim son stream of blood runn ing down

- u over the white , astral, vapor like body . Aro nd h e was u u o n t body the a ra , a clo dy vap r extendi g outward to a distance of two or three feet in the shape of an egg; an em anation of a dark and di nd d m al smal color, corresponding to his dark a is h h career . It was in back of t at very shack t at he cut his throat and burst the door that bound him al h to the mort clay, crying as he passed over t at as u he was eternally lost and damned , the ch rch h But ad hypnotized him into believin g . that Hell ’ u al is immeas rably preferable to . the Devil s H f u al Acre , beca se the astr body is relieved of pain , hunger and thirst and the necessity of laboring

n . for food and clothi g In fact , I believe that we ( 135) 1 8 are in Hell now , that this the lowest plane of ’ existence . In the Devil s Half Acre the poor and t u a e wre ched o tc sts of the earth , emb llished with i dirt and clad in rott ng rags , lived on three

cents a day . There was som ething in the atmosphere ofth e neighborhood that urged all the inhabitants il was on to crime . The fam y life a hell on earth

” own . It is claimed that all the evil thoughts of all t he v icious inhabitants of a vil e place will

’ there . In the Devil s Half Acre you could not take a step without treading on t h e crimson h n stain of a reeking crime . T e Spooks were a d are now as t hick as Tophet the re ; t h e place i s haunted by ghosts and fiends unholy in Death

. . wh o was that of Mr D , when on earth , was engaged in the banking business . In his le ft m his un hand he carried a ji my and in right a g , and he was peering here and there looking for a safe to crack or a cashier to shoot up . He was floating through t h e air at a h eight of about

- ten feet , and on his forehead blazed the blood red of Ca u was mark in , and his black a ra lighted 11 li i by the fires of Tophet . When 1 life he ved nt he house across the road . From this house al so emerged a ghost with a hal ter around it s neck . It was there with t h e halter he had swung himself over the battlements of t irne and dropped into was eternity . The vicious influence of this house irresistible . I t is well to know this law of thought ‘ obsession and av oid these accursed places . ( 136)

Acre their astral shells . That is what they are called when their spirits have departed in the Spiritual body and left the astral body to return h l m to t e e ements like the ca el body . A hum an being in a normal condit1 on 1 s u see u nable to an astral body , or ghost , beca se the vibrations on the astral plane are too rapid for the human eye to see . The v ibrations of the u - u ltra violet or X rays , at one end of the spectr m

(138) E F THE TH BIOGRAPHY O SOUL ATOM .

By Will ard Bartlett .

Fm m The N auti lus . I will preface my story with the simple statement that I am now years old , u more or less , that the atom in which my so l c u u is lo ated , or which constit tes my so l , first found a home in what is called a living being , c t od a y or cell , in the primordial or earliest ’ hi u epoch of earth s story . A cell is a min te

or - ub mass of living protoplasm , jelly like s

stance , not as large as the head of a pin , a com bination of carbon , oxygen , hydrogen , nitrogen ,

u u . il u ammonia , s lph r , etc Wh e it is tr e that

I existed before that , and , in fact , from all u eternity , I previo sly resided in what is called

ou . Bu inanimate matter , in the igne s rocks t we will say that I was born when my soul atom became involved in the said protoplasm O f one

of the earliest plant cells . i All matter is endowed with m nd , and a

soul exists in every atom . It is impossible to f u prod ce new li e , as it is said scientists have e done , and impossible to cr ate life , as God is al claimed to have done , for life ways existed in

every atom . It is by certain combinations of

m atter that life becomes manifest in motion . u m Each of the tho sands of ato s , of which was ou said primitive life cell composed , had a s l

destined to take its place in some descendant ,

if it had an O pportunity . And the soul s are

waiting in the atoms to be born , and not in h Heaven as asserted by t e Yogi philosophers . (139) The Yogis claim that the souls are waiting in some department of the B uddhist heaven crying to be born . Bosh ! They are waiting in the

Spermatozoa , those little monsters , those little

ar o stake ; there they e h wling to be born. In their o u as sh ow u fr‘antic race to enter the v m , n nder

t . i Spermatozoa , S and D c . no wonder they years for the opportunity to become human beings .

Cells , prop agate by div ision ; that is my i ‘ or ginal ancestor , a little, round mass of proto

of n e ffspring , and all my a ce stors have done the same t hrough all t hese millions O f years , oonss

u m . s q ently I have in y body , in all of the cell , som e of the original matter of which my original cell ancestor was

our s a t a a as, earlie t nces ors did , by c sting off c ell , which , being joined by a cell of the opposite l ex . u s , becomes ferti ized The h man embryo develops by repeated subdivis1 ons of this twin

. SO cell , and each one of the myriads of cells

u . prod ced is a living , thinking being The question h as arisen why the cells in an embryo arrange themselves in the form of n the pare t , and it has been asserted that they are so distributed by God in pursuance of a

Divine plan . But it is actually done by the

volition of the cells themselves . Each cell takes its proper position in compliance with t he u instr ction of its parent cell , and if removed by l force to some other part of the embryo , wil u v t he return to its original place , th s e incing ( 140)

’ u n l we descendants are conseq ently born can ibas , m n u conde ed to rob , m rder, despoil and eat our fellow beings , or starve . u ul My next bea tif ancestor , to whom I will u ou introd ce y , was an animal consisting of numer ous cells arranged in the form of a sack or stom

r . w ach , called a blastode m or gastraea There as i no central bra n at this time , each cell having a

) brain of its own . wn Yesterday , while patrolling my beat do f in the mine , in a dri t in the limestone , the earliest sedim entary deposit laid down on the bed of the a u primev l ocean , I found the ho se of my archaic l ll ancestor , wil ed to me by him mi ions of years ago , and delivered by him to me yesterday . It is a u h i u min te S ell , with wh ch he protected his precio s stomach . This stomach took its flight to Heaven w bu u in the earliest da n of time , t the ho se , one 1 u of the many mans ons of the so l , preserved intact came down to me through unnumbered ages , while myriad races came into being and faded e S u flourish into ternity , and religions prang p and ed and waned , and empires rose and rotted and fell .

In the next stage , the stomach has become elongated , and the nerve centre or sp inal cord makes its appearance along the whole length of f the body . At this period my beloved grand ather be was a very aristocratic and exclusive worm , longing to one of the first families , and , like them, had as much brains in his tail as in his head , for no crani al brain h a d yet developed . O f t h e u u The remaining steps evol tion , thro gh 1n which my ancestors have passed , are depicted the development of the hum an embryo , and I wil l ask you to read up on the subject of embry h u u as ology , which I ave fo nd q ite as interesting 1 d me nov els .
