The Egyptian Connection

The Word Christ comes from the Greek word "Christos", which means "The Annointed One". The myth is not original to Christianity, but found in many ancient cultures in the world.

In Egypt the Christ figure is known as Horus, the falcon headed God, the conquering child and the pharaoh. Hardly anything is known about 18 years of Jesus' life, some of which he spent in Egypt. Most likely, Jesus was exposed to the Egyptian religion. The myth of Horus and the myth of Jesus are virtually identical.

The word Amen spoken after every prayer is conventionally translated as "truth be told", but the name is that of the Egyptian God Amun. The God Amun is pictured as a Ram-Headed Man and symbolizes the Hidden Creative Force of God. The word means "The Hidden Abiding One".

An excellent book on this topic is The Pagan Christ, by Tom Harpur. Tom Harpur taught the New Testament and Greek on a graduate level for ten years at the University of Toronto.

The Cross

The cross symbolizes the union between spirit and flesh. The early Christians did not have Jesus, but a Lamb, nailed to the Cross, or they simply left the blank cross.

The symbol has its cosmological correspondant, namely the Southern Cross. The three days around the Winter Solstice, when the Night is the Longest, the sun descent in front of the southern cross, stays imbobile at its center and ascends, making the days longer again.  Thus the solar energy is united with the cross, through the death, enlightenment and resurrection of the people of the Sun.

How to become divine and unite body and spirit can be seen in the Christian conception of the Holy Trinity. One has to be good son, then he has to be a good father and finally he must possess the Holy Spirit, which gives peace, power and glory.
