Consciousness

2. I hope to share…
How we arrived at the beliefs of our present
culture.
The history we’ve been taught is an illusion.
Our religion is extremely primitive.
Sex is completely misunderstood and misused.
Power has become pathological.
We have regressed in consciousness.

3. “There has been a loss of history,
and if you don’t have history,
you’re stuck with the present…A
loss of history is a matter of life
and death.”
Howard Zinn

7. 3 Men wrote down Western History
Joseph Scaliger
b. 1540 – 1609
Protestant
Wrote what is
referred to as
the “backbone”
of history
Dionysius Petavius
b. 1583 – 1652
Jesuit
theologian
Carried on the
work of
Scaliger
Gerhard Miller
b. 1705 – 1783
German
historian and
ethnologist

8. Scaliger used the work of Eusebius
as a main reference…
 Eusebius allegedly lived from 240- 360 AD
 Scaliger gave Eusebius his birth date of 240 AD
 The only portrait we have of Eusebius was painted in
1455 AD
 His writings were not published until 1544 AD
 His manuscript was nothing but tiny bits and pieces
 Eusebius was considered a fraud and liar by peers

9. Until 1387, the drama of the Holy Family
was said to have taken place in Europe.
 Mary lived and became pregnant in Loreto, Italy
 Constantinople was Rome, and Rome was Jerusalem
 Italy was known as Samaria
 Paris was once called Babylon
 The Danube River was once known as the Jordan River
 The story of Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection was
moved across the Mediterranean by Scaliger.

10. Some of Fomenko’s other points…
 A huge number of ancient manuscripts were forged during the
Middle Ages
 There were no Hebrew manuscripts before the 9th century
 The books of the Bible were Medieval creations written after
1400 AD
 The entire life and times of Jesus Christ were fictions created by
15th century men
 Naming systems were much different in ancient times
 Scaliger added at least 2,300 years to the historical timeline
 Today’s secular history is based entirely on Church history

11. All my former anchors are gone –
family, work, religion – and my
worldview is in tatters.
By this time…

12. The Christ Conspiracy…
 At least 40 earlier ‘Saviors’ have populated history
 Not a single mention of Jesus by historians of his time
or later historians
 Christians persecuted others, not vice-versa
 “Jesus” was a title given to ancient healers & teachers
 Eusebius was considered a liar by his peers
 St. Paul never mentions Jesus or his sermons. Why?
 The Church turned the sun and 12 constellations into
the Son and 12 apostles.

13. “How profitable that
fable of Jesus Christ has
been for us!”
Pope Leo X, 1513-1521, member of the Medici Family

14. Early Christians were repeatedly
told, “Do not examine! Only
believe, and your faith will make
thee blessed. Wisdom is a bad
thing in life; foolishness is to be
preferred.”

15. “The way to see by faith is to
shut the eye of reason.”
Benjamin Franklin

46. James Mellaart, Archeologist, on
the shutdown of his excavations:
“…the question remains to what extent this
decision was driven…by the emerging knowledge
that behind the abundant and diversified artistic
activity of Hacilar ‘there lay…the one great and
inspiring force, the old religion of Anatolia, the
cult of the Great Goddess.’”

47. The truth about history…
…is that we are an ancient people
with a glorious past.
…our culture and consciousness have
regressed and we must decide if we
are going to turn things around.

48. The Myth of Religion is…

49. The truth about religion is…
…it keeps us at a very primitive level of human
development
…the Jesus we need to work with and believe in
is the Christ inside the self who is still
undeveloped and waiting
…it has replaced the potential for transformation
with a demand for conformity

50. The Myth of Sex is…

51. The truth about sex is…

the earth began with
the rise of the
patriarchy…

Goddess cultures.

55. The truth about power is…

beings

and the world we want to live in!

65. If we wish to help create or shape a
new world, we must
let go of childish beliefs,
learn to mature consciousness,
and
do the work of birthing and
rebuilding.
