My name is Legion; because we are many

by | May 22, 2014 | Gods & Goddesses, History of the Brotherhood

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said. My name is Legion ; because we are many. (many devils were entered Demons-and-Angels timeinto him.)

‘And he cured many that were sick of various diseases: and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to say that they knew him.” – Mark i. 34

Many bible interpreters and modern priests would say that the people Jesus had cured, were most likely crazy and/or mad lunatics. People who today, would be given medications or placed in mental hospitals.

The Father of medicine and a Koan from Kos, Hippocrates wrote a treatise on epilepsy and said, that these mental disorders, normally attributed to demons, was not more divine, or more sacred than other disorders; and that like other disorders, it was to be cured, not by charms, but by medicine.

However, for many centuries it was said that many of these people were possessed by a legion of demons who would cause disorder and insanity. Demons who are said to have the power of entering into the bodies of any living man, and of tormenting them at will.

A legion is an army of men numbering in the thousands. Outside of Christianity, these demons are not all considered evil or bad.

Many ancient and current cultures from all around the world believe in both good and evil demons. Pagan priests had often attributed their divine inspiration to good demons. The ancient Jews had called them divine beings, and that they were the divine spirits of departed men who became demons. According to Plato, they hold a place in order between God and mortals.

Demons genie“These causes of our wickedness are derived from our parents, and from our constitutions, rather than from ourselves; for while we recoil from the works of our ancestors they are not idle.” – Plato

The 1st century Roman-Jewish historian and Roman advocate, Josephus had said, ”demons are the spirits of wicked men, who enter the living, and kill those who receive no help;” and again, “demoniacs are they, who are possessed by the spirits of wicked men.” The Jews believed that all demons, and Beelzebub, their prince, were in subjection of  Samuel, the prince of the devils, or who is simply known today as Satan.

I had written about Beelzebub in a previous article:

In the cult of Serapis, Beelzebul (Beelzeboul, Beelzebub, Beelsebab, Baalzebub or Ba’al) is prince of the Seraphim, just below Lucifer. The cult of Serapis had originated from the Greco-Egyptian priesthood under the Ptolemies. The testimony of Pausanias, says the temples of Serapis were the most famous at Alexandria, and the most ancient at Memphis. Tacitus, the Roman senator and historian had said that Serapis was worshipped as a type of universal deity that represented Jupiter, Osiris, Pluto, and sometimes Jupiter Ammon.

The Seraphim are six-winged beings that fly around the Throne of God crying “holy, holy, holy.” The seraphs hold 5th rank often in the Jewish angelic hierarchy and the highest rank in the Christian angelic hierarchy of angels that govern this current world. The various spellings of the Hebrew name Seraphs are the Greek Hellenized version of the Egyptian Osiris-Apis which is spelled Serapis, Sarapis (Σάραπις, Dorian Greek), Sor-apis (Σέραπις, Attic/Ionian Greek), Serapin (Greek Ὄφις), and the name ‘Seraphim’ being the plural form.

Francis of Assisi, also known as St. Francis, was considered by many people to be equal to Christ and to have possessed a great power of working miracles. He was the founder of the Cordeliers and Franciscans. He was also known as the Seraphic Father and Seraphic Saint because of a vision he saw on Mount Alverna where he witnessed a crucified seraph who perforated his feet, hands, and right side.

“If Satan Cast Out Satan, he his divided against himself. How then shall his kingdom stand?” (Matt. xii. 24. and seq)

“And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” – Revelation 12:9

Just last year, Pope Francis had given a sermon in which he had reminded Catholics, “That Jesus fought the devil and you must too. All of these (people) were not possessed; they were mentally ill’. No! The presence of the devil is on the first page of the Bible, and the Bible ends as well with the presence of the devil, with the victory of God over the devil.”

There are some priests who, when they read this Gospel passage, this and others say: ‘But, Jesus healed a person with a mental illness’. They do not read this, no? It is true that at that time, they could confuse epilepsy with demonic possession; but it is also true that there was the devil! And we do not have the right to simplify the matter, as if to say: ‘All of these (people) were not possessed; they were mentally ill’. No! The presence of the devil is on the first page of the Bible, and the Bible ends as well with the presence of the devil, with the victory of God over the devil.

Do not confuse the truth. Jesus fights the devil: first criterion. Second criterion: he who is not with Jesus, is against Jesus. There are no attitudes in the middle. Third criterion: vigilance over our hearts because the devil is astute. He is never cast out forever. It will only be so on the last day.

“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.” – Revelation 20:1-3

Draconian Laws of the Great Dragon

by | May 21, 2014 | History of the Brotherhood

The English word ‘dragon’ is derived from the Old English ‘draco.’ A name that means “a large serpent.Draco dragon

Draco (Apaicwv, a dragon), the large serpent was the first true lawgiver of Greece who ruled over one of the world’s oldest and most powerful cities, the city of Athens (Αθήνα, Athína, Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athēnai). Athens is the largest city and capital of Greece.

It was here, where Draco who was also “Archon Eponymus” had changed the old system of oral law and blood feud, to what can now be considered the Rule of Law which were the first written laws to be enforced only by a court, and that became the first written constitution of Athens. Up to his time the laws of Athens were unwritten.

The Laws of  Draco would later become known as “Draconian Laws.” They were draconian because these laws were harsh. For example, the result of being found guilty of breaking these newly written laws would end in either perpetual slavery for unlucky debtors, or often death for other legal offenders.

Plutarch states: “It was a lot for himself, when asked why he had fixed the punishment of death for most offences, answered that he considered these lesser crimes to deserve it, and he had no greater punishment for more important ones.”

Crimes that today, that  you would get a simple prison sentence of 1-5 years. These ancient law breakers of Greece would think that our current US justice system is akin to a legal Disneyland, and I would tend to agree with them.

This was a rather dark time for Greece and the City of Athens. A time of blood shed, and feudal battles amongst rival royal families. Athens only truly became a great city and democracy after the reforms to these draconian laws, approximately 100 years later when a famous mythological lawgiver named Solon (638 BC – 558 BC) had helped change the law codes with the help of a friend from Crete. Solon was a man of noble birth who was a lover of learning and a poet. He is credited with having laid the foundations for the Athenian democracy and had ruled Athens according to most chronologists in the year B.c. 594.

This would be 18 years after the insurrection of Cylon, and 30 years from the attempt of the first legislator of Athens, Draco had crushed the rising spirit of democracy.

Hikers Film Possible Sasquatch

by | May 5, 2014 | Featured, Videos

In this video below, taken by a group of hikers in the Tantalus Range near Squamish, British Columbia, there appears to be a 
human like figure moving several thousand feet below them on the snow.

Sasquatch

The hikers are amazed that there is someone else out there in the middle of nowhere with them and that it is able to move so swiftly.

Could this be a true life encounter with real Sasquatch, or is this video trickery?

The videographer, MLam had posted this on his Youtube channel:

This video was only uploaded for the benefit of a couple of friends, we had no intention for it to gather the interest it has. We are not claiming this to be anything other than a strange encounter based on some of the reasons below:

1) We were able to view the subject much better than what the video portrays as it was just a simple point and shoot camera. Contrast was excellent due to the snow behind the subject.

2) The subject was clearly bipedal and was without snowshoes or a backpack and wearing all one coloured clothing. Movement over this kind of terrain in soft snow without snowshoes would have been very difficult and the distance traveled over the given time period would have been very fast for a human without proper snow travel gear.

3) There was a very steep drop off below where the video was shot, easily a 300m sheer face. We were not equipped with climbing gear and a descent around would have been impossible before nightfall.

4) We have encountered bears on the approach to this summit in the past, this video is most definitely not showing a bear or any other wild animal.

5) Perhaps the most reasonable explanation for this video is a very ill prepared hiker, hiking up a difficult section of snowline as opposed to a much easier route, one who is very physically fit and able to cover ground in unusually quick fashion and must have had very large feet as we were breaking through snow crust in just our boots.
