The more you begin to investigate what we think we understand,

where we came from, what we think we're doing,

the more you begin to see we've been lied to.

We've been lied to by every institution.

What makes you think for one minute that the religious institution

is the only one that's never been touched?

The religious institutions of this world are at the bottom of the dirt.

The religious institutions in this world are put there by the same people

who gave you your government, your corrupt education,

who set up your international banking cartels.

Because our masters don't give a damn about you or your family.

All they care about is what they have always cared about

and that's controlling the whole damn world.

We have been misled away from the true and divine presence in the universe

that men have called god.

I don't know what god is but I know what he isn't,

and unless and until you are prepared to look at the whole truth,

and wherever it may go, whoever it may lead to,

if you want to look the other way or if you want to play favorites,

then somewhere along the line you're going to find out you're messing with divine justice.

The more you educate yourself the more you understand where things come from

the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere.

You have to know the truth and seek the truth and the truth will set you free.

They must find it difficult..

Those who have taken authority as the truth,

Rather than truth as the authority

-G. Massey, Egyptologist

Because I gotta tell you the truth, folks, I gotta tell you the truth.

When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit,

you have to stand in oh,

of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims -

religion.

Think about it.

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky

who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.

And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.

And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire

and smoke and burning and torture and anguish,

where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry

forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you.

He loves you, and he needs money! He always needs money!

He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!

Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more.

Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Sh*t!

Part 1:
The Greatest Story Ever Told

This is the sun.

As far back as 10 thousand B.C.,

history is abundant with carvings and writings reflecting peoples respect and adoration for this object.

And it is simple to understand why as every morning the sun would rise,

bringing vision, warmth, and security, saving man from the cold, blind,

predator-filled darkness of night.

Without it, the cultures understood the crops would not grow, and life on the planet would not survive.

These realities made the sun the most adorned object of all time.

Likewise, they were also very aware of the stars.

The tracking of the stars allowed them to recognize

and anticipate events which occurred over long periods of time,

such as eclipses and full moons.

They in turn catalogued celestial groups into what we know today as constellations.

This is the cross of the Zodiac, one of the oldest conceptual images in human history.

It reflects the sun as it figuratively passes

through the 12 major constellations over the course of a year.

It also reflects the 12 months of the year, the 4 seasons, and the solstices and equinoxes.

The term Zodiac relates to the fact that

constellations were anthropomorphized, or personified, as figures, or animals.

In other words, the early civilizations did not just follow the sun and stars,

they personified them with elaborate myths involving their movements and relationships.

The sun, with its life-giving and life-saving qualities was personified as a representative

of the unseen creator or god.

It was known as "God's Sun," the light of the world, the savior of human kind.

Likewise, the 12 constellations represented places of travel for God's Sun

and were identified by names, usually representing

elements of nature that happened during that period of time.

For example, Aquarius, the water bearer, who brings the Spring rains.

This is Horus.

He is the Sun God of Egypt of around 3000 BC.

He is the sun, anthropomorphized, and his life

is a series of allegorical myths involving the sun's movement in the sky.

From the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt, we know much about this solar messiah.

For instance, Horus, being the sun, or the light,

had an enemy known as Set and Set was the personification of the darkness or night.

And metaphorically speaking, every morning Horus would win the battle

against Set - while in the evening, Set would conquer Horus and send him into the underworld.

It is important to note that "dark vs. light" or "good vs. evil" is one of the most ubiquitous

mythological dualities ever known and is still expressed on many levels to this day.

Broadly speaking, the story of Horus is as follows:

Horus was born on December 25th of the virgin Isis-Meri.

His birth was accompanied by a star in the east,

which in turn, three kings followed to locate and adorn the new-born savior.
