  It's like the mandela effect has hit me full force....I've stepped back into the world of corny 80's (being generous) jokes.

  The smell of benson and hedges and hai karate is strong on this thread.

  Inside Story Logo

  by MrHappy in

  this may have been covered before but have you noticed the logo design of the "inside story" on this months video the 143rd gilead graduation.

  it appears as a pyramid containing the masonic symbol of the compass and square, with this reflected below the text.

  the art pieces on the shelf are also interesting and maybe someone has some thoughts on these.

  The compass and square are again....the two forces in nature......the male and female.....positive and negative.

  Look again at the symbol....the compass is the male/positive force.....in kabbalah this is called the pillar of mercy....it is our left brain that controls the right side of the body.

  The square below it is the female/negative dark force.......in kabbalah this is called the pillar of severity.

  In the temple of Solomon...the two pillars represent the same thing....Jachin is the male (+) force and Boaz the female negative force (-).....
  

  The male force (compass) is on top of the square....the square is the female with her legs wide open....and when the two forces come together....things happen......things generate!....the letter "G" stands for generation among many other things....like geometry,GAOTU etc etc.

  

  It isn't crude....it isn't dirty...it isn't satanic......it is nature and how things get done.

  As said before.....JW's unknowingly acknowledge these two forces at the memorial...the sun is the male/positive force and the moon represents the female/negative force.

  At the spring equinox the sun has passed over the equator (passover) but yet has to wait for his bride to appear fully adorned in white for him....the moon has no light in itself....she only reflects the light of her returning husbandly owner....again......this is the wedding feast of Cana....this is the holy marriage...the hieros gamos.

  When those two forces come together (in the northern hemisphere).....the barren earth comes back to life.

  Think of the fairy tales where the princess gets her finger pricked with a needle (the sign of Scorpio....the kiss of Judas....the kiss of the scorpion)....the princess (earth/female force) then falls asleep (winter).....however when the prince (sun) arrives....he kisses her and she "awakens"....this is also the same scenario as Christians and witnesses are celebrating at Easter....it is the spring equinox and the return of light to the barren earth....bringing it back to life.

  Punky,if you were a freemason....you are well aware of the story of Hiram Abiff....aka the sun.
  

  Hiram Abiff is accosted and killed by three ruffians....Jubela,Jubelo and Jubelum......these represent (again among many other things) the three autumn months/signs of the zodiac (Libra,Scorpio and Sagittarius)......who bring to an end the reign of the sun as it nears the end of its cycle at the winter solstice.

  Hiram is brought back to life and raised up by the grip of the lions paw (the lion is the sign of Leo).....in the northern hemisphere the sign of Leo is the hottest part of the year....the sun "roars" as it sits on its throne with its lions mane (rays).

  In heraldry that is why you have a unicorn and a lion.....this represents the sun in its highest...in the zodiac sign of cancer (ruled by the moon)....and Leo...(ruled by the sun)...the unicorn and lion. (The empire where the sun never sets). Also why there are unicorns in the bible.....look at all the references to unicorns and it is about it's strength....of course it would be....the sun is in its strength up at the tropic of Cancer.

  Cancer is also the reason for Elijah and the chariot story....(the summer solstice)...while his baldy companion Elisha is connected to the winter solstice.......go check for yourself.....apply this thinking to Jacob and Esau and a thousand other tales (Saul/David etc) you will see for yourself....it is ALL about the forces of nature put into amazing stories.

  Why "Most high"?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if there were only one god, why do we encounter the expression, "most high god"?.

  is this not indicative of polytheism, and of levels (or degrees) of god-ness?.

  Jesus Is A Myth

  Jesus day is December 25th,John the baptist day is June 24th......the two solstices....summer and winter.
  

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsummer

  When the sun reaches the tropic of Cancer.....the only way is down as it makes its journey back to the tropic of Capricorn.

  The light starts to decrease......however when it reaches the tropic of Capricorn at the winter solstice it starts to climb again....and light starts increasing once more.

  This is why John says....."that one must go on increasing and I shall go on decreasing"

  The sun is behind the story of Elisha.......When the sun is at the winter solstice the rays or "hair" of the sun have disappeared....the sun is in effect "baldy" and the only way to get its hair back is to go back up to the tropic of Cancer once more.......so "go up you baldhead,go up you baldhead"! (the two bears are ursa major and ursa minor)
  

  The sun and its yearly journey is also behind the story of Samson (Samson means man of the sun...the clue is in the name).

  Again,Samson loses his hair (strength/rays) after visiting Delilah (house of Virgo).....before that he fights a lion and there are bees in the lion....this is the constellation of Leo and "Praesepe" the beehive cluster.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beehive_Cluster

  When he sets the foxes tails on fire....it is telling us about the festival of Cerealia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerealia

  They had firefox even back then.
  

  Hercules is also the sun.....and his 12 labours are the 12 signs of the zodiac.

  Jesus is the sun...and he walks round Galilee (Galilee means circuit....the circuit of the year....with his 12 disciples/12 signs of the zodiac).

  A more modern version of the cycle and the 12 zodiac signs are found in the story of "King Arthur" (the sun) and the 12 "knights" (signs of the zodiac) of the round table (the circle of the year).
  

  It's all stories about the sun......that is why the prophets could prophesy......they could work out what happens in each part of the cycle....whether daily,yearly or the cycle of the ages.

  The sun at the summer solstice in the sign of Cancer/tropic of Cancer also answers a prophesy that is still being debated by Christians to this day.

  Why did Jesus ride into Jerusalem on two donkeys and not one? (Zechariah 9:9)

  In the constellation of Cancer there are two donkeys....Asellus Australis and Asellus borealis...the northern and southern donkeys.

  So when the sun hits its height it is sitting on two donkeys.

  If we can entertain the thought that Jesus is the sun.

  "The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: Both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun." --Thomas Paine, Age of Reason

  It can explain why all of those titles can apply to the sun.....

  When it arrives in the morning it is our RISEN saviour,at midday it is at it's "most high" as it rides into "Jerusalem" at the summer solstice and at night it "dies" and heads into the underworld......being born again as a helpless baby at the winter solstice/midnight....born in the midst of its enemies as the darkness still surrounds it at Christmas time.

  When Christians go out at Easter to welcome the sun at their sunrise service....they aren't welcoming a literal Jesus.....they are welcoming the sun back at the spring equinox...in the sign of Aries they are welcoming Jesus/the sun back....he is the lamb of God (sun in Aries) that takes away the sin (darkness,desolation of winter) of the world...and as the sun passes through the month of Aries (burning away the lamb),the days are getting longer and warmer,plants start to grow,the dead rise,fecundity and happiness have returned to the earth.....the light of the world has returned once more.

  All hail our risen saviour! ....the sun.

  Keys to understanding the Book of Revelation

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  · the whole book of revelation is one letter.. · that letter was to be taken by a courier and read out aloud in churches along a road that ran from ephesus to laodicea.

  the author was very familiar with each of the churches.. · those christians were experiencing intense persecution.. · the letter was designed to encourage these first-century christians to “overcome”.

  it told them that the end was imminent (“soon”) and they had to remain faithful, to the point of being prepared to losing their lives.. · john had gone to patmos in order to compose (“receive”) the message.

  Hi HB,thanks for your comments.
  

  I concur....if we take the stories out of the literal into the amazing stories of the natural male and female forces in nature...the positive and negative,the light and dark and the interplay between them. It explains much of the bible and other holy books.

  As you say the more you investigate,the more it all fits.
  

  Another example of using the zodiac to interpret scripture would be the sheep and goats allegory.

  Capricorn (the goat) is the sign at the winter solstice that kicks off the 3 winter months......darkness and death/desolation.

  Whereas the spring equinox is the time of expanding light and life and happiness/work and arrives in the sign of Aries (the ram/lamb/sheep).

  The sheep go off into life and the goats....death. (of course they do...its the cycle of the zodiac)
  

  Every zodiac sign is in the bible....from the two fish of Pisces to the water bearer of Aquarius.....the unicorn of Cancer to the horse and rider (Sagittarius) pitched into the sea as the light months take hold and the winter constellations disappear below the horizon.The scales of Libra are there...seen in the writing on the wall of the sky,weighing kings in the balance.Lions of Leo are there,Virgins of Virgo are there,Castor and Pollux (Gemini) are mentioned in the bible along with bulls,rams all telling stories of events that happen in all of the cycles you mention.Scorpions are let loose for 5 months....all because 5 zodiac signs after Scorpio,bring you to the spring equinox...the end of darkness and the return of the light of the world as he reigns once again....all hail Jesus Christ....the sun,light of this world and conqueror of the dark forces of winter and night.....and conqueror of the dark forces inside of us...bringing us out of polarity and extremism....into unity/balance and the single eye....the Christ/truth/light frees us from the winter/darkness of ignorance....we all had that accepting Christ moment when we were faced with uncomfortable truths that destroyed our beliefs....yet when we did accept that Christ/truth into our lives...it raised us up from our blindness....just as Jesus did to the blind before.

  We now look back and wonder to ourselves...."How did we ever believe all of that nonsense"...... as we see the darkness in the watchtower even clearer.
