It is impossible for
anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.
Epictetus 50
AD
The Jupiter Project was
created for the seeking, finding
and decoding of the
ancient and 'lost' esoteric spiritual traditions
Many visitors have
inquired about how all of this happened; how it all
unfolded. I was, however, reluctant to relate the
sequence
until there was certainty regarding the correctness of the discoveries.
The Astro-Archaeological Star of Bethlehem and related phenomena
has been
available, although expanding almost daily, since the last millennium.
The charts in this archive are accurate to a certainty. I
have provided my own interpretations, based upon the ancient practices
of the Magi.
So, with
that said:
The
star was discovered in an eight step process that took 7 years and, it
seems, was the primary and initial reason (discovering the star after
adjusting for calendar errors) for my
nomination for a Templeton Prize in Religion.
First,
I thoroughly reviewed thousands of pages of commentary and theories
regarding the star. Not one theory or commentary matched Matthew's
singular description of the star.
Secondly, I
knew that the Gregorian Calendar had some unresolved issues.
How else could we have Christ being born in B.C.* (before Christ or before the
Christian Era). I researched
the calendar and
uncovered a few of the issues (e.g, no year
zero, avoidance of precession
calculations). However, I realized that I
was not fully equipped for
the
task of analyzing the calendar so I needed to familiarize myself with
the Earth's Orbital
Mechanics and the
ancient zodiac. As I progressed I became increasingly puzzled
because every error in the
calendar seemed designed to
distance itself (the
calendar) from the star, not to
mention that DECember
our 12th month means "ten"
and OCTober
our 10th month, means "eight".
I
became convinced that our calendar intentionally
misleads us
regarding
our precise location (time)
within the present age (Pisces).
How can we have billions of dollars
in astronomical equipment, and yet, not one highly capable astronomer
can tell us where
we are within the present Age?
*(quantum
simile,) Although our Sun was 'born' 8 1/2 minutes before the
Earth witnessed the Sun's first light.
The
third step
was a review of the Earth's Orbital Mechanics (how we measure time)
and
a phenomenon called
the Precession
of the Equinox. I discovered that precession was not
even considered at any time during any of the calendar adjustments.
Precession
was known around 200 AD (See,
Origen, early Christian scholar and theologian) but
denied by the early
fathers of the Christian church.
(they were 'early' fathers because the calendar contains precessional
calculation oversights).
Additionally, Zecharia Sitchin, author,
cosmologist and most impeccable researcher, has pointed out the
existence of
ancient (3rd
millennium B.C. and approximating the beginning of the
building of the Great Pyramid) cylinder seals that
include a depiction
of all of the outer planets.
I became
intensely curious about why, it seemed, something was being
masked....
A '1
degree' error in the calculation of precession equals 72 years of
calendar time.
Part 4 took me into the mysteries of The
Great Pyramid at Giza (a monument to light).
The Great Pyramid is the
oldest standing structure on the Earth and is one of the 7
Wonders of The World, and educational institutions generally ignore the
pyramid; so too does the public-at-large.
I turned to the pyramid*
because it is a virtual Rosetta
Stone
of the solar system and perhaps even the universe. The Western world
(please excuse this),
generally, doesn't have a clue about why that
pyramid is truly a Wonder
of The World. Why?
After studying the Great
Pyramid it became clear that I also needed to
investigate the quantum physics of light.
*(note)
Sir
Isaac Newton attempted to utilize measurements from The Great Pyramid
in formulating his theory on gravitation. He
needed to know the exact circumference of the Earth, so he studied the
Great Pyramid. Newton was highly successful in this endeavor.
Part 5 was a study of ancient
astronomy*.
Ancient astronomy** was actually the
combination of astronomy and
astrology. It
was the combined science of observation and interpretation, and was,
beyond any doubt, the science mastered by The
Magi.
It also gradually became
evident to me that the writers of
the 4
gospels
of the New Testament were very knowledgeable of 'ancient'
astronomy.
*(Note)
There
are very very
few direct references to astrology in the bible.
Contemporary evangelists erroneously
state that the bible condems astrology, despite the fact that Genesis
states that God made the stars for "signs and for seasons". The Old
Testament mentions astrology, NOT as astrology, per se, but rather as the opening volley of
the ancient and continuing battle between religion and science.
The attack upon astrology, by religious leaders, in ancient
times
was because astrology was the principal science and the
astrologer/astronomer priests were the scientists of the day.
**Pre-Egyptian
civilization ( 5000 B.C.)
referred to the Sun as "The Shepherd" and the
planets as "the sheep" or 'wanderers' moving against the backdrop of
the
fixed stars... indicating that over 7000 years ago Man was aware of the
Sun-Centered
solar system.
Part 6 was
to research the gospels.
The first three gospels,
Matthew, Mark and
Luke, are called the Synoptic (similar)
Gospels. The three use
similar language and sequences of events, and sometimes even
duplicate passages. Mark's Gospel seems to
be almost entirely
contained within the Gospel of Matthew. Over fifty percent of
Mark's gospel is incorporated in Luke's.
Many scholars
are convinced that the canonical Gospels contain extensive material
that is not historical. I think that it is because
many
passages are astronomical/astrological allegories.
Biblical
scholars, although not in complete agreement, (when are they
ever?) have suggested that Matthew was the common
source but
with
a plot twist that includes a 'lost' Gospel of Q (Quelle, (a german
research team) for "source").
Its existence ( "Q" ) is largely inferred from
the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Many
theologians and religious historians believe that Q's text can be
reconstructed by analyzing passages that Matthew and Luke have in
common.
It is presently believed
that The Gospel of Q, if it exists / or ever
did, contains numerous phrases or sutras
or wisdom sayings that do not mention the events of Christ's life. It
is believed that the Synoptic Gospels
used the materials contained in the Gospel of Q.
It
is the Gospel of
Matthew that contains the only account (anywhere)
of the star that came
to be called the Star of Bethlehem.
Part 7 was to synthesize and
then analyze the materials*
and arrive at a working hypothesis. I have
come up with two:
a)
The gospels are a historical account which demands faith because of the
lack of scientific and academic proof. Or,
b) Matthew
was the principle author of the gospel materials and incorporated:
b.1) the
wisdom
sayings of
The
Gospel of Q
with
b.2)
astronomical/astrological knowledge
expressed as allegory and
b.3)
merged
them with prophecies
from the Old
Testament
and then produced an
allegory depicting
the grandest celestial event in the recorded history of Man. An
event of such magnitude that the Great Pyramid at Giza was
constructed to memorialize it. The celestial event was, in
fact, the
blueprint for the construction of the Great Pyramid and the
'accompanying literature'
being the
Synoptic Gospels.
b.4)
This
part is the most astounding part of
this entire utterly mind-boggling enterprise... There is a
correlation between the 'Christ' of the New Testament and
the physics of light! The physics of light
incorporated into a 'sheep
and goat'
allegory from over two millennia ago? I could, most easily,
dismiss the light correlation as coincidence, however Christ,
in the New Testament, describes himself as 'the light' and
bestows the ability 'to
see'.
An additional
observation, regarding Christ, light and the Sun
generally, is that there is an analogy between Christ being
born (Gregorian
Calendar) in B.C. or 'before Christ' and
the Sun being 'born'
prior to its light reaching the Earth (8 1/2 minutes later). The
correspondences are too compelling and deserve investigation.
* by
'materials' I mean not only the items mentioned above but also the
esoteric traditions and writings of the many arcane and ancient
spiritual traditions of many cultures.
Part 8 involved
analyzing the research materials and viewing them through the
lens
of what remains of the tattered fragments of the Western esoteric
tradition.This process was the most important and was designed to
investigate and find any ' common
elements' in religion, metaphysics, philosophy
and the spiritual practices of the ancients.
Whether
you embrace the gospels from the perspective of faith, or via decoded
midrash, physics and allegory, the results are (can be) identical,
because the allegory as well as the literal interpretation incorporate
ancient wisdom teachings regarding the evolution and refinement of human of
consciousness leading to eternal life.
Ultimately it is you, the
reader, who must decide for yourself. Were the
Synoptic gospels events depicting
historical events as they unfolded in the life of Christ or are
the Synoptic
gospels an astronomical/astrological
allegory incorporating both ancient
wisdom teachings and
the quantum physics of light?* Also, is
what is written in the heavens
(stars)
truly made manifest on
the Earth?
*Note:
Anthropologists are in agreement that 'something' happened about 3000
BC (which is also the estimated construction date for the
Great Pyramid) which catapulted Man's development from 'mud huts' to
agriculture, writing,
art, astronomy, astrology,
architecture, religion
and 'civilization' generally. The quantum
leap of humanity, over 5000 years ago has, so far, been
virtually
unexplained by science.
I can positively state,
without reservation, that something very very
big happened in 5 B.C. and this grand event was prophesied, in stone,
by The Great Pyramid at Giza, which was built in (approx.) 2973 B.C.
It
was an event that captivated the world and continues to captivate the
world into the third millennium.
In
5 B.C., according to my research, a change of Ages (Aries to Pisces)
occurred which was also the end of one "Great Year" (or Great Year of
Plato which is 25,920 years of astronomical precession)
and the beginning of a new Age. Additionally, there was the
appearance of a, once in over 40,000,000 years, celestial configuration
in the form of a Seal of Solomon and the start of a new religion
(Christianity). All of these spectacular events share a common
origin... the science of the stars!
This archive documents my
journey into the utterly remarkable phenomena
that are intricately woven into these astounding events. Some
materials
may overlap in a few of the essays but there is very little redundancy
as each page reveals a deeper insight into these mysteries.
In
the future
religious
'faith'
will gradually be replaced by 'gnosis'
(intuitive
knowing).
A 'gnosis' that is rational, logical and self-proving.
'Religion',
as we know it, will cease to exist
as a
new wave of enlightenment
sweeps
across the Earth.

Decoded
metaphor, decoded midrash and decoded allegory
is the focus of the information contained
within many of the following
pages.

 ...The Bible is a multi-level transcendental
masterpiece.
In addition to its most sacred account of the life and teachings of
Christ and of the patriarchs of The Old Testament, it also includes a
complete astrological-astronomical summary of the transition of the
astrological age (Aries to Pisces) and, surprisingly it also includes,
in symbolic language, a summary of the quantum physics of light!
The
information contained in these
essays is significant and controversial but inconsequential when
compared with the timeless message of The Bible. This work simply
reveals some additional facets of the sacred teachings of Western
Civilization and includes some glaring omissions from the wisdom of
ancient Egypt.
For
almost two thousand years
archaeologists, astronomers, Egyptologists and religious scholars have
been looking, without success, for the biblical Star of Bethlehem and
the "missing" capstone of The Great Pyramid. The essence of the
information and charts published here is that the Star of Bethlehem and
the capstone of The Great Pyramid are both ancient astrological
configurations. The discovery of these historical artifacts has evaded
scholars for 20 centuries despite the fact that astrology was
a
principal science during the pertinent historical time periods .
Any
celestial event (i.e.
The Star of
Bethlehem) presented as announcing a "a birth" is
exclusively within
the realm of astrology, not astronomy. Astronomy is celestial
"observation" and ancient astrology provides the "interpretation" of
astronomical phenomena.
It
is my opinion that the discoveries
documented herein provide solutions for (at least) three of
the most
incredible transcendental mysteries that have ever puzzled humanity.
The
Star of Bethlehem, as documented
within these pages, is the only verifiable archaeological
artifact *
ever discovered which supports every
element of Matthew's biblical account of the "star". The
discovery
of "Christ's Star" provides a proof, in precise support of the gospels,
of the existence of an historical Christ.
*The
only other artifact
that has been
presented as a proof of the validity of scripture is the highly
controversial Shroud of Turin.
Additionally,
any contemporary attempt
to provide justification to adjust the Gregorian
Calendar would be difficult without first having found The Star of Bethlehem and
the precise date of the birth of Christ.
Western
scholars are in agreement that we are presently confronted with a type
of oxymoron regarding the Gregorian Calendar and the estimated date of
the birth of Christ. The Gospel of Matthew states that Herod, harboring
unkind intentions, sought the Christ and requested that the Magi
disclose Christ's location to him. Herod's reign, as well as his life,
ended in 4 BC and this historical fact presents us with the
contradiction that Christ was born "before
Christ" (BC). This
contradiction is a seeming proof that our present calendar contains an
inacuracy because the start of our calendar is supposed to celebrate
the timing
of the
birth of
Christ . This anomaly has persisted because virtually every
commentator and Star of Bethlehem theorist has failed to produce a
compelling scientific reason to justify altering our calendar.
In fact, each
commentator has virtually embraced (adopted)
and presumed without
question the accuracy of the current calendar and zodiac alignment
despite the significant oversights that have been outlined on my calendar page .
Virtually
all previous Star of
Bethlehem theories refer to routine planetary conjunctions and/or
astronomical configurations that occur regularly and, at best, are
highly speculative fiction and contain weak scholarship that either
ignores history or discounts Matthew's
account .
The
account of the star contained
within these pages is a mathematical certainty that provides a star
which conforms to every element of Matthew's account. This
material does
not attempt to bend history but, rather, to demonstrate that our
assessment of the astronomical skills of the ancients is, at best,
inadequate.
One
other
possible
interpretation of "The Star", the seeming
intentional errors of the Gregorian Calendar and the contemporary
condemnation of the ancient science/religion of astrology (The Science
of the Magi) is that The
Star of Bethlehem
was, perhaps, intentionally hidden to mask some of the
deeper origins of
Christianity. Nevertheless, there are deeply veiled midrashic* elements
contained in the 4 primary gospels of the New Testament. The 'Midrashic
elements' are allegorical components regarding ancient
astronomy/astrology. These 'elements' (ancient astronomy/astrology) are
deeply veiled, until they are decoded and revealed.
* A
Midrash is an ancient Hebrew term used to describe sacred writings that
contain symbolic and/or allegorical components that are
presented as
literal when distributed to the 'common folk' or 'the faithful'. The
writings. typically, contain
great spiritual truths but, nevertheless, make great use of components
which
require specialized information/data to decode. A contemporary
example of a 'midrash' is the tale of Santa Claus which is taught as
literal truth to our young children. The spiritual truth contained in
the Santa Claus tale is that 'goodness brings rewards', however, the
tale contains 'fantastic elements' that assign magical qualities to the
main character (S. Claus) that make him seem super human. The
use of a ''super human'
character is usually always a veiled reminder of the existence
of God.
A
more complete midrash would also utilize information about
'specialized learning' (i.e. astronomy) that is embedded into the story
but presented secretly as veiled allegory.
The New
Testament's 4 gospels contain many deeply veiled
astrological/astronomical (a singular principal science in 5 BC)
components regarding the Sun and the ancient science of star gazing.
Specialized knowledge is required to decode the allegorical components;
specialized knowledge that was the mainstay of the 'wise men'
(astronomer priests) of the pertinent time frame. To seek for
the 'specialized knowledge' of the Magi was the primary motivation for
creating The Jupiter Project.

Much of the
astroarchaeological information in this archive deals with
an
ancient and sacred symbol known as
The
Seal of Solomon
The Israel
Ministry of Foreign Affairs has published an interpretation
