Any discussion on Rennes le Chateau and the Languedoc eventually will lead to a big rabbit hole.
I will limit my discussion to the brutal murder of Abbe Gelis.
Rennes-le-Château and Rennes-les-Bains
Who killed poor Gélis?
This is one of the great mysteries of Rennes-le-Château but I believe I have solved it!
Antoine Gélis was the priest of Coustaussa, across the valley of the Sals from Rennes-le-Château and was a close friend of Bérenger Saunière. He was born in April 1827 and had been the priest of Coustaussa since 1857. His grave, with what is said to be a Rosicrucian cross, can still be seen in the graveyard there, about two-thirds of the way up It was in danger of falling when this picture was taken in 1996. As well as Rosicrucianism, he is said to have been interested in Gnostic dualism.

He was assassinated brutally on the night of October 31/November 1 in 1897. The bloody body of the priest was found the next day - All Saint's Day.
The police were baffled; the old priest always checked visitors and had a chain-lock on the door, so he must have known his murderer. No one in the village had heard any noises and certainly no screaming. The autopsy proved he had been hit by the heavy fire-tongs and then with an axe. He had fourteen wounds to the head and multiple skull fractures.
Once he was dead, his murderer had laid him flat and crossed his arms across his chest - the work of a churchman? The French report uses the word "gisant", meaning, "lying as though in the tomb." On the table was a bottle of Banyuls, another one of Porto, and packet of cigarettes, but Antoine Gélis did not smoke. On the packet was written "Viva Angelina."
No money was taken, although immense amounts were scattered around the house; but the presbytery had been ransacked, the lock of the deed box had been forced, satchels of papers had been rifled through and some taken. We can only speculate what papers they were.
(This theme - papers, documents - runs all the way through my book "Mary, Jesus and the Charismatic Priest." Click here to find out more.)
The next morning, All Saints Day, the priest's nephew arrived, probably to borrow money because his grandson had been born at nearby Luc. He went into the house to open the shutters - and stumbled over the body. He ran out into the street and fell over in a dead faint. Later he was accused of the murder, but they found no case whatsoever against him.
Eight years previous to the murder, a meeting had been held at Gélis's home, as was noted in Bérenger's diary, on 29th September 1891. Henri Boudet was there, from Rennes-les-Bains, and also Guilliame Cros, often described as Bishop Billard's "secretary." In fact, Cros was one of the four Deacons of Bishop Billard. His official title was Deacon of Castelnaudary and Limoux, second in command after the Deacon of Carcassonne and Narbonne. Cros had been appointed in 1881 and re-appointed in 1887 and 1892, but always as the second Deacon.
The story of the meeting is recounted in Jean-Luc Robin's book about Rennes-le-Château (see our Book Reviews.) It says; "Billard had sent his secretary . . . in order to deliver a sealed package . . it seems to be a bundle of documents . . . they took good care not to open it in his presence and Gélis put it away upstairs before they sat down to lunch."
Bérenger Saunière thanked Cros, asking him to tell the Bishop the papers would be well looked after. The midday meal then apparently impressed Cros with its sumptuousness. The implication is that Cros was poor; he and Boudet knew each other because they had been brought up together in Axat, and they both went into the Church. Cros was the son of a schoolteacher who had, apparently, progressive ideas, at the time that meant, tending towards Republicanism. Cros's father, a non-believer, pushed his son into the church to give him a career and a social position.
It was Jean-Luc Robin's theory that Cros was envious of the others, and later reported back to Billard's successor, Beausejour, the Republican bishop who was appointed in 1902, about Bérenger's activities, which was one of the reasons why Beausejour harrassed Bérenger so much.
But by 1891 Cros had lost his job as Deacon. In the official list published in 1889 he has simply disappeared; he was no longer Deacon. So what happened to him? I can find no mention of him anywhere. He did not serve under Beausejour, and he was not serving under Billard in 1891.
The meeting at Coustaussa in September took place 8 days after Bérenger Saunière had written laconically in his diary on the 21st - "letter from Granes, discovery of a tomb, rain." BUT on the 29th Bérenger wrote; "Saw the priest of Névian - Gélis's place - Carrière's place - saw Cros and Secret." There is no mention of Boudet or lunch. Saunière listed his expenses as "going to Luc." (Luc-sur-Aude.) Cros was last on his list and it seems (l'Héritage de l'Abbé Saunière by Claire Corbu and Antoine Captier) "that the two priests were discussing the discovery made at Rennes and they would decide to keep the secret."
In other places in his diary Bérenger mentions "four brothers" - the French word used is "confréres" - implying more than being colleagues, but being members of a society of brotherhood - there's more than a hint of freemasonry here, because the "four zealous brothers" is a freemasonry concept. On the 6th October, Bérenger received a visit from "four brothers". We can conclude, I think, that these included the mysterious Carrière that he met on the same day that he met Cros at Luc-sur-Aude - or, it could mean that Saunière, Boudet, Gélis and Cros considered themselves "four zealous brothers."
After Gélis was murdered Saunière received many letters (says Claire Corbu) but not one of them was found after Saunière died and he made no note of them in his diary. But he did become very paranoid; I think he knew something of what had happened. I think he knew who had murdered Gélis. And why.
The old man had taken a long time to die. The murder was the act of a man who wanted something and was determined to get it, but it was not the act of a murderer but someone who, in fact, did not know how to kill anyone.
Someone arrived, between 9pm and midnight, to see Gélis, and Gélis knew him, so he let him in. They sat down and drank together; then the visitor got up, picked up the firetongs, and hit Gélis over the head from behind (The autopsy re-constructed this.) The old man got up to go to the window to shout for help. The attacker realized that Gélis would talk if it was left there. Secrets would be revealed. Panicking, he returned to the fireplace and picked up the "hatchet", a small ax probably used to split logs for the fire. Once he had gone that far, the murderer was desperate enough to attack and attack until the priest was dead.
Who did Gélis know that Saunière knew? Who could it have been that the police never thought of and that the Church (who, according to Robin, did their own investigations) never thought of?
I think Saunière and some of the others had argued with Cros and tried to cut him out of any share of the treasure, whether it was money or religious secrets. Cros had lost his position as a churchman. He had been told the secret was in Gélis's house - Gélis refused to co-operate - things went too far. Saunière and Boudet knew Cros had done it; but if they said anything, they would have lost their church positions because of their freemasonry and Cros, and maybe even other freemasons, would have come after them as well.
After that, Saunière and Boudet took very great care about who they invited into their houses or even their villages. . . and their own friendship was shattered.
And the words "Viva Angelina"? The priests used to do word puzzles that were popular at the time, and to crack the code a phrase was used for each puzzle. “Viva Angelina” was such a code. Apparently, nobody at the time thought to check the handwriting against that of anybody involved. I wonder why.
When BS went to Paris he hooked up with Emma Calve, prominent Opera singer and by all accounts,she was stunningly beautiful. He also met Claude Debussy, who was tied in a Secret Society.
Most of the Languedoc were Monarchists at a time when France was divided into Republicans and Monarchists.
The Monarchists still held on to the belief that the French monarchy had been deposed by the Carolingians usurpers (Charles Martell and his grandson Charlemagne) from the Merovingians.
Marie Marquis de Hautpoul, descendant of Mary Magdalene and who had commissioned the church in Rennes le Chateau fits prominently into the mystery . There's so much going on here.The Monarchists considered Henry V as the King of France.
I found that the mentioning of the four brothers intriguing.
The saying Viva Angelina seems to be a term from some Secret Society from Paris.
Because Gelis skull had a hole in the top of the head reminds me of the Templars custom of Trepanier, where a person was killed to guard a treasure and a open slot in the skull so their soul wouldn't reincarnate.
This is absolutely fascinating. I went off on a controversial tangent in my article based on a few theories of my own, but clearly this story is far deeper than I realized. I should have spent more time on the research myself instead of outsourcing it to my intern. (Though you did a great job, Lily, if you happen to see this.)
Regarding Charles "The Hammer" Martel: better to be displaced by another Frenchman than to have had the entirety of Europe overrun by Mongol hordes. Western civilization owes such a massive debt to that man, and most people have never even heard of him. He was a far more important person than Charlemagne could have ever hoped to be, though Charlemagne was also quite a fascinating character in his own right.
I wonder if the Viva Angelina is a reference to Baphomet? The translation would mean, roughly, "Hurray for the Female Angel," as Angelina denotes the feminine. Baphomet is often depicted with breasts (as a hermaphrodite), had a close association with the Templars, and connects to the "Black Madonna." I think all of this goes back to the goddess named Inanna/Ishtar/Asherah/Lilith, the first wife of Adam who has been all but erased from canonical Scripture.
I am certain there are two bloodlines here on Earth: the line that came from the seed of Adam and the line that came from the womb of Lilith.
It may also be a reference to the Regus concept from alchemy: the unification of opposites in the form of a hermaphroditic entity, said to be the "perfected form" that reproduces through parthenogenesis. This again relates to Baphomet.
Perhaps Saunière stumbled upon proof of this other line of beings here on Earth and threatened to reveal their existence, and the Church bought his silence?
The esoteric secrets of alchemy and real magick via quantum manipulation are among the greatest secrets of these Lodges.
There is a reason a witch's hat resembles a 3D model of an inverted black hole, complete with event horizon. It is a nod to the ancient, antediluvian, pre-confounding-of-languages era of Babylon.
Arthur C. Clarke said it best: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
I had been saying for decades that the Tower of Babel was a vertical stack, twin helix particle accelerator. I was laughed at when I published a pamphlet back in 2006 or so.
In the last few years, physicist Michio Kaku said in his most recent book (the title escapes me presently) that the Tower of Babel was an "ancient world particle accelerator."
Scripture says there is nothing new under the sun. The "technological magick" of the fallen has been rediscovered, and the Book of Enoch says that prior to the Judgment, the world will be "covered in towers."
I am certain Enoch meant particle accelerators. Every single one of these devices needs to be shut down immediately, but no one will ever listen to a crazed conspiracy nut like me until it is too late.
We are bringing the forces of chaos into our world with these devil machines, literally opening the gates of Sheol.
The Battle of Anghiari (1505) is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, FlorenceIt still exist behind a wall of what is now Florence’s city hall.They decided to hide this because it reveals tto much about the Demonic Nature of our Masters.
How the “Da Vinci Code”works:
Take the picture into Photoshop.
Duplicate it onto 2nd Layer.
Make 2nd Layer 50% opacity
Move 2nd Layer with arrows vertically
You will see the hidden pictures appearing
Works for many pictures
You will see especially with this picture the Demons that possess the fighters.
Also you see the ones creating the fight moving away from the Battle.
It is a very telling picture of the nature of conflict upon this day.
That is the reason they build a wall in front of it to hide it from thze Public.
Hall is something of an enigma to me. I know enough about 'magick' to understand what the Lodges keep secret from the 'profane' as they like to say but even though he was involved in, how do I say this... 'enjoying steak' on a regular basis - he also gave lectures on the ethics of occultism - something that most of these bricklayers have seem to forgotten. These abilities were not intended for everyday use and certainly not fancy dinner parties just so they can do a few 'parlor tricks'. He had the largest, public occult library in the world but last I knew it was closed down. I believe he was set up to be murdered personally. I think he was butting heads with some very powerful Lodge members about the future of the organization and what they believe is 'destiny'. I think he tried to talk some sense into them and ended up dead because of it. My entire family are members of the Lodge but I was never interested in joining once I realized what it was really about. Besides, Jesus isn't the only one that had a 'virgin birth' (I mean the esoteric meaning of the term, not literally being born of a Virgin).
He was on my list. Now Blavatsky, was a different story. I first read her Secret Doctrine in 1970. Not a book for beginners..
I also read a lot of the Theosophical Society books. Not that much with Golden Dawn. Liked Israel Regardie, and Alice Bailey.
In my library I have all of Hermann Hesse books, although I've struggled to finish Magister Ludi (Glass Bead Game). I have all of P D Ouspensky’s books and his protoge Rodney Collins “ Theory of Celestial Influence”and many others.
You seem well versed in esoteric thought.
By choose, I stayed away from Mason's and Rosicrucian's. It seemed important to me to be invisible to these groups.
.I actually gave a talk to my brother’s mason lodge. I went to university with the head of that lodge.
Gurdjieff and Ouspensky are some of my most favored occultic philosophers. The Fourth Way is a great book. I should reread it. It has been quite awhile since I last went through it.
And yeah, The Secret Doctrine is... massive. That woman clearly did not have to work for a living to have devoted so much time and effort to her adventures and writing. Then again, she was a Countess so I am sure she had a massive fortune.
Have you ever heard of Louis Buff Perry? He is a Canadian professor and code-breaker. He was hired by the producers of the Da Vinci Code movies as a consultant actually. He has a documentary that I think you would VERY much enjoy called Lapis Exillis. I have watched it at least a dozen times. It is extremely interesting.
He began researching some curious Jesuit writings about them finding some sort of treasure in Canada and it culminated with him receiving death threats from the Lodge to cease his research and even being kidnapped where he had one of his fingernails removed by some sort of torture device. He continued with the work but I don't think he ever really figured out WHY they wanted him to stop the research - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSE1RC1eh34
It is about the Pillow Stone of Jacob/Holy Grail by the way.
The Forth Way is my favorite Ouspensky book. It's sitting out on my desk right now.
It was the Way that agreed with me.
I'm a divorced grandfather and I could not have found the time otherwise. It's funny how life gives you what you need.
I made a commitment to devote myself to Alchemy. It was a personal choice. A labor of love but a labor nevertheless. Ninety percent perspiration, ten percent inspiration.
Ouspensky was Gurdjeiff's protoge. Rodney Collins was Ouspensky's protoge. You can see the connection between them ; psychology and science combined.
You can find Theory of Celestial Influence oo internet Archives.
I've got the hard copy but it's so handy to have a digital version...
What did you think of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson by Gurdjieff? That is one book that I was never really able to crack the symbolic code and just reads like so much science fiction weirdness to me. I know I am missing something. I should go back and try to reread it. It's been 25 years or so since I last read it. I have grown wiser in that time. Slower for sure but definitely wiser.
Not sure if my last comment went through. I never read much Gurdjeiff, not sure why.
I'm watching the YouTube video that you sent me the link to.
. I'm familiar with the area he talks about. Cyprus Provincial Park is a geographical anomaly. The Glaciers went around the small mountain creating a microenvironment. A mountain in the middle of the prairies. I've camped there many times on my way to Winnipeg from Vancouver.
Those stone pillars are called Hoodoos. I would never have suspected that discoveries like that would be there.. 👍
Google The Church of Mary Magdalene by Jean Markale internet Archives.
It's easy to sign up and is free.
I'm blown away by the books you can "borrow".
That book is light years better than HBHG. It's written by a Frenchman so you get a lot of nuances that aren't in HBHG. I highly recommend it if you want more detail....
The Regulus is not the hermaphrodite. It's a union of iron and antimony. It is known as the signed star of Antimony and when joined forms a white eight pointed star as complete as if a draughtsman had drawn it
This is one of the secrets that almost all Alchemists avoid talking about.
The hermaphrodite is the conjunction of the fixed White Sulphur of Nature (Dianna) and the Ardent Water or the element of Air.
What happens is that the fixed White Sulphur rises in the Alembic with the spirit of Air and is changed and is drawn back to the earth and is now a spiritualized body.
It is in-between fixed and volatile, the hermaphrodite.
Is it possible somehow for me to paste pictures into a comment. I have some pictures that you would find interesting...
The Rebis (from the Latin res bina, meaning dual or double matter) is the end product of the alchemical magnum opus or 'great work'.
After one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head within a single body. The sun and moon correspond to the male and female halves, just as the Red King and White Queen are similarly associated.
Blavatsky spoke of the root races in her Secret Doctrine and claimed the first beings God created were all hermaphrodites. It almost seems to me like genetic engineering to produce angels... but at a time when science was primitive and they were trying to accomplish pre-flood high science with what little they had to work with.
I use Internet Archive daily. Watching an old VHS copy of Edward Scissorhands right now as a matter of fact.
It is the first conjunction half way between fixed and volatile.
The next conjunction is when the Red oil (Sulfur ) is lowered into the spiritualized body drop by drop until it will drink no more and sealed up with the appropriate heat until it first turns white and with a stronger heat turns Ruby Red. This is called the Fire Stone and when placed on an iron plate and heated becomes a liquid and will never evaporate.
What Blavatsky was referring to is when the souls were created they were eternal and both male and female.
The souls were split into two and incarnated separately. Hence, the concept of soul mates.
Before man's fall we had shiny luminous bodies. After the fall we took on the cost of skins that we have now. This was the descent of spirit into the material world.
Thoth, the Atlantean Priest, was the only one allowed to communicate directly with the Shiny Ones.
I think that, the term Shiny Ones is mentioned in the Bible.
What's interesting is that HA-BRAZIL.Not sure I spelt it correctly. You know it's that island that appears and disappears in the Atlantic ocean somewhere off the coast of Ireland , is rich in history with the Shiny Ones…
What you refer to as a nativity scene, isn’t in fact a nativity scene. It’s just two separate statues. One of Jesus with his mother and one of Jesus with his father. The nativity is the birth of Christ. Odd that you would claim it to be a nativity scene when it doesn’t depict the birth of Jesus.
Well it’s a bold claim you make based upon the so called “nativity” scene. You cannot claim that it perhaps points to Jesus having a twin and then say it’s irrelevant lol. Also, can you show me the evidence you have for child sacrifice rituals within the church? Very interesting indeed.
Some scholars point out that the name Judas Thomas Didymus literally means “Judas the Twin, the Twin.” That’s why certain traditions believed Thomas was actually the twin brother of Jesus.
As for the second part, Google the Temple of Apollo beneath the Vatican.
EDIT: Actually nevermind. All references to it are now gone from Google. Gee, I wonder what that means?
Thank you. I don’t believe this information to be at all a good reason to come to conclusion Thomas is Jesus’s twin. It’s likely Thomas was a twin though, hence the categorisation when naming him by the author of the Gospels.
Do you think Jesus had a twin? If so, what other information could you point towards to substantiate the claim? Thank you
Never read much Gurdjeiff . I'm just watching that YouTube video you sent me the link to.
..I know that area well. Especially Cyprus Provincial Park. It's an anomaly on the Prairies. The Glaciers went around this small mountain creating a microenvironment. Used to camp there on my to Winnipeg from Vancouver. Those pillars are called Hoodoos.
Never would have suspected that, that kind of discovery would be there. 👍

Church investigated separately, results hidden
That aspect is quite curious
Maybe the ex- deacon.
When BS went to Paris he hooked up with Emma Calve, prominent Opera singer and by all accounts,she was stunningly beautiful. He also met Claude Debussy, who was tied in a Secret Society.

Just me thinking out loud...

It may also be a reference to the Regus concept from alchemy: the unification of opposites in the form of a hermaphroditic entity, said to be the "perfected form" that reproduces through parthenogenesis. This again relates to Baphomet.
Perhaps Saunière stumbled upon proof of this other line of beings here on Earth and threatened to reveal their existence, and the Church bought his silence?
The esoteric secrets of alchemy and real magick via quantum manipulation are among the greatest secrets of these Lodges.
There is a reason a witch's hat resembles a 3D model of an inverted black hole, complete with event horizon. It is a nod to the ancient, antediluvian, pre-confounding-of-languages era of Babylon.
Arthur C. Clarke said it best: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
I had been saying for decades that the Tower of Babel was a vertical stack, twin helix particle accelerator. I was laughed at when I published a pamphlet back in 2006 or so.
In the last few years, physicist Michio Kaku said in his most recent book (the title escapes me presently) that the Tower of Babel was an "ancient world particle accelerator."
Scripture says there is nothing new under the sun. The "technological magick" of the fallen has been rediscovered, and the Book of Enoch says that prior to the Judgment, the world will be "covered in towers."
I am certain Enoch meant particle accelerators. Every single one of these devices needs to be shut down immediately, but no one will ever listen to a crazed conspiracy nut like me until it is too late.
We are bringing the forces of chaos into our world with these devil machines, literally opening the gates of Sheol.
Where is the picture? No domain given.
Sure hope the Pope gets a copy of this post!
The Battle of Anghiari (1505) is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, FlorenceIt still exist behind a wall of what is now Florence’s city hall.They decided to hide this because it reveals tto much about the Demonic Nature of our Masters.
How the “Da Vinci Code”works:
Take the picture into Photoshop.
Duplicate it onto 2nd Layer.
Make 2nd Layer 50% opacity
Move 2nd Layer with arrows vertically
You will see the hidden pictures appearing
Works for many pictures
You will see especially with this picture the Demons that possess the fighters.
Also you see the ones creating the fight moving away from the Battle.
It is a very telling picture of the nature of conflict upon this day.
That is the reason they build a wall in front of it to hide it from thze Public.
hmmm that might make for an interesting article
I have. I found it confusing as usual.
I have three go-to books.
Check out my posts on The Bosom Book Of Sir George Ripley. It outlines the process beginning to end.
It's like reading a chemistry experiment.
Give it a try. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
I've studied Manly P Hall, Astronomy and Astrology, Tarot and Kabbalah , but I specialized in Alchemy. You need all of these things.
I have a great knowledge of Alchemy.
If I can be of use to you with your writing skills. It's an open offer.
Look at what I've posted on Alchemy....
Hall is something of an enigma to me. I know enough about 'magick' to understand what the Lodges keep secret from the 'profane' as they like to say but even though he was involved in, how do I say this... 'enjoying steak' on a regular basis - he also gave lectures on the ethics of occultism - something that most of these bricklayers have seem to forgotten. These abilities were not intended for everyday use and certainly not fancy dinner parties just so they can do a few 'parlor tricks'. He had the largest, public occult library in the world but last I knew it was closed down. I believe he was set up to be murdered personally. I think he was butting heads with some very powerful Lodge members about the future of the organization and what they believe is 'destiny'. I think he tried to talk some sense into them and ended up dead because of it. My entire family are members of the Lodge but I was never interested in joining once I realized what it was really about. Besides, Jesus isn't the only one that had a 'virgin birth' (I mean the esoteric meaning of the term, not literally being born of a Virgin).
He was on my list. Now Blavatsky, was a different story. I first read her Secret Doctrine in 1970. Not a book for beginners..
I also read a lot of the Theosophical Society books. Not that much with Golden Dawn. Liked Israel Regardie, and Alice Bailey.
In my library I have all of Hermann Hesse books, although I've struggled to finish Magister Ludi (Glass Bead Game). I have all of P D Ouspensky’s books and his protoge Rodney Collins “ Theory of Celestial Influence”and many others.
You seem well versed in esoteric thought.
By choose, I stayed away from Mason's and Rosicrucian's. It seemed important to me to be invisible to these groups.
.I actually gave a talk to my brother’s mason lodge. I went to university with the head of that lodge.
Gurdjieff and Ouspensky are some of my most favored occultic philosophers. The Fourth Way is a great book. I should reread it. It has been quite awhile since I last went through it.
And yeah, The Secret Doctrine is... massive. That woman clearly did not have to work for a living to have devoted so much time and effort to her adventures and writing. Then again, she was a Countess so I am sure she had a massive fortune.
Have you ever heard of Louis Buff Perry? He is a Canadian professor and code-breaker. He was hired by the producers of the Da Vinci Code movies as a consultant actually. He has a documentary that I think you would VERY much enjoy called Lapis Exillis. I have watched it at least a dozen times. It is extremely interesting.
He began researching some curious Jesuit writings about them finding some sort of treasure in Canada and it culminated with him receiving death threats from the Lodge to cease his research and even being kidnapped where he had one of his fingernails removed by some sort of torture device. He continued with the work but I don't think he ever really figured out WHY they wanted him to stop the research - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSE1RC1eh34
It is about the Pillow Stone of Jacob/Holy Grail by the way.
The Forth Way is my favorite Ouspensky book. It's sitting out on my desk right now.
It was the Way that agreed with me.
I'm a divorced grandfather and I could not have found the time otherwise. It's funny how life gives you what you need.
I made a commitment to devote myself to Alchemy. It was a personal choice. A labor of love but a labor nevertheless. Ninety percent perspiration, ten percent inspiration.
Ouspensky was Gurdjeiff's protoge. Rodney Collins was Ouspensky's protoge. You can see the connection between them ; psychology and science combined.
You can find Theory of Celestial Influence oo internet Archives.
I've got the hard copy but it's so handy to have a digital version...
What did you think of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson by Gurdjieff? That is one book that I was never really able to crack the symbolic code and just reads like so much science fiction weirdness to me. I know I am missing something. I should go back and try to reread it. It's been 25 years or so since I last read it. I have grown wiser in that time. Slower for sure but definitely wiser.
Not sure if my last comment went through. I never read much Gurdjeiff, not sure why.
I'm watching the YouTube video that you sent me the link to.
. I'm familiar with the area he talks about. Cyprus Provincial Park is a geographical anomaly. The Glaciers went around the small mountain creating a microenvironment. A mountain in the middle of the prairies. I've camped there many times on my way to Winnipeg from Vancouver.
Those stone pillars are called Hoodoos. I would never have suspected that discoveries like that would be there.. 👍
Did you know that both Carl Jung and Hermann Hesse both had Hermetic rings on their hand?
Here is a link to the Mutus Liber.

Google The Church of Mary Magdalene by Jean Markale internet Archives.
It's easy to sign up and is free.
I'm blown away by the books you can "borrow".
That book is light years better than HBHG. It's written by a Frenchman so you get a lot of nuances that aren't in HBHG. I highly recommend it if you want more detail....
The Regulus is not the hermaphrodite. It's a union of iron and antimony. It is known as the signed star of Antimony and when joined forms a white eight pointed star as complete as if a draughtsman had drawn it
This is one of the secrets that almost all Alchemists avoid talking about.
The hermaphrodite is the conjunction of the fixed White Sulphur of Nature (Dianna) and the Ardent Water or the element of Air.
What happens is that the fixed White Sulphur rises in the Alembic with the spirit of Air and is changed and is drawn back to the earth and is now a spiritualized body.
It is in-between fixed and volatile, the hermaphrodite.
Is it possible somehow for me to paste pictures into a comment. I have some pictures that you would find interesting...
Not Regulus. I meant to say Rebis. My mistake.
(From Wikipedia)
The Rebis (from the Latin res bina, meaning dual or double matter) is the end product of the alchemical magnum opus or 'great work'.
After one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head within a single body. The sun and moon correspond to the male and female halves, just as the Red King and White Queen are similarly associated.
Blavatsky spoke of the root races in her Secret Doctrine and claimed the first beings God created were all hermaphrodites. It almost seems to me like genetic engineering to produce angels... but at a time when science was primitive and they were trying to accomplish pre-flood high science with what little they had to work with.
I use Internet Archive daily. Watching an old VHS copy of Edward Scissorhands right now as a matter of fact.
The Rebis is the hermaphrodite.
It is the first conjunction half way between fixed and volatile.
The next conjunction is when the Red oil (Sulfur ) is lowered into the spiritualized body drop by drop until it will drink no more and sealed up with the appropriate heat until it first turns white and with a stronger heat turns Ruby Red. This is called the Fire Stone and when placed on an iron plate and heated becomes a liquid and will never evaporate.
What Blavatsky was referring to is when the souls were created they were eternal and both male and female.
The souls were split into two and incarnated separately. Hence, the concept of soul mates.
Before man's fall we had shiny luminous bodies. After the fall we took on the cost of skins that we have now. This was the descent of spirit into the material world.
Thoth, the Atlantean Priest, was the only one allowed to communicate directly with the Shiny Ones.
I think that, the term Shiny Ones is mentioned in the Bible.
What's interesting is that HA-BRAZIL.Not sure I spelt it correctly. You know it's that island that appears and disappears in the Atlantic ocean somewhere off the coast of Ireland , is rich in history with the Shiny Ones…
Shining Ones.
I have extensive familiarity with the complete collection of Hermetic literature that has survived to the present day.
Are you acquainted with the Corpus Hermeticum? I think you would find it quite compelling.
EDIT: That's right, given your background in chemistry! I suspect you would be particularly drawn to "The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz."
What you refer to as a nativity scene, isn’t in fact a nativity scene. It’s just two separate statues. One of Jesus with his mother and one of Jesus with his father. The nativity is the birth of Christ. Odd that you would claim it to be a nativity scene when it doesn’t depict the birth of Jesus.
If that is what you are focusing on, you clearly have missed the entire point of the article. Just an editorial snafu.
Well it’s a bold claim you make based upon the so called “nativity” scene. You cannot claim that it perhaps points to Jesus having a twin and then say it’s irrelevant lol. Also, can you show me the evidence you have for child sacrifice rituals within the church? Very interesting indeed.
Some scholars point out that the name Judas Thomas Didymus literally means “Judas the Twin, the Twin.” That’s why certain traditions believed Thomas was actually the twin brother of Jesus.
As for the second part, Google the Temple of Apollo beneath the Vatican.
EDIT: Actually nevermind. All references to it are now gone from Google. Gee, I wonder what that means?
Thank you. I don’t believe this information to be at all a good reason to come to conclusion Thomas is Jesus’s twin. It’s likely Thomas was a twin though, hence the categorisation when naming him by the author of the Gospels.
Do you think Jesus had a twin? If so, what other information could you point towards to substantiate the claim? Thank you
Also I don’t think I understand what you mean by an editorial snafu… I think I’m continuing to miss the point lol. Or maybe I’m not.
Sooo….. are you gonna provide evidence of child sacrifice rituals?
Appreciate the Truth
It Resonates with my Beliefs
and to all you wrote that the whole of Saul’s conversion was Rome subterfuge through Saint Paul’s ministry to the Roman & Emperor’s Ears
More a generation of Flavius Joseph & his Jewish betrayal for Satans 30 Pcs
Interesting concept.
Never read much Gurdjeiff . I'm just watching that YouTube video you sent me the link to.
..I know that area well. Especially Cyprus Provincial Park. It's an anomaly on the Prairies. The Glaciers went around this small mountain creating a microenvironment. Used to camp there on my to Winnipeg from Vancouver. Those pillars are called Hoodoos.
Never would have suspected that, that kind of discovery would be there. 👍
Feel free to use it!
