The Scientific Reformation
Definition of Myth – Macquarie Dictionary
A traditional story usually concerning some superhuman being or some alleged person or event and
which attempts to explain natural phenomena,
especially a traditional story about deities or demigods
and the creation of the world and its inhabitants.
Gods and Goddesses
Gods and Goddesses pertain to the domain of Mythology.
As myths, they are mere make believe fictions.
Sage scribes in the past, using the limited data at their
disposal, attempted to explain natural phenomena in
terms which seemed plausible to them. Their efforts have
significant roles in our understanding of cultural evolution.
Interesting though the fruits of their thinking be, they
can have no place as scientifically demonstrable
postulates in the foundations of formal systems of
learning and academic religious knowledge.
Aseity is a key word
in the History and Philosophy of Science.
Aseity’s name is neither fictional nor mythical.
It is factual. She has life from her very own self.
Aseity is SELFLIFE. Her Divine Nature is
Existential Self↔Other Relativity
Aseity has always been active in selflife existence.
As long as humans have existed, so long have
women’s ova been the vehicle of human selfpropagation. Only in recent times has Biological
Science, aided by microscopes, revealed her Selflife’s
true Nature in act as pregnant woman, the human
female ego-egg-laying placental mammal.
The Scientific Reformation
167
For two thousand years, women have had a bluffed
and bullied existence at the hands of their all male
intransigent ignorant ecclesiastical authorities.
Fictional Mythological places like the Kingdom of
Heaven and the Underworld of Hell are not Existential
Revelations. The only reality which Mythology’s
hypothetical “Daddy” God has up in the sky
somewhere is as an unverifiable make believe idea in
somewhat immature childlike human minds.
Giving names to things or putting ideas or concepts,
like gods and goddesses, into writing may give them a
unique verbal literary fictional existence, but does not
existentialize them IN ACT i.e., endow their essence
with real actual selfexistence.
As Peter sits in a wheelchair in front of his computer,
his mind is still active, though his memory often fails
him. He is satisfied that he has not only achieved his
teenage goals of demonstrating scientifically, true or
false, some basic religious ideas, but as far as he
knows, his Thesis of Existential Self-Other Relativity is
unique. It initiates a new oneness and togetherness to
old themes in Science, Mathematics, Philosophy and
Religion. He has restructured the logical basis of
Cantorian Set Theory in The New Mathematics and by
using the simplest linguistic analysis, removed the
paradoxes from Set Theory, thus providing a
consistent foundation for Mathematical Logic – a task
hitherto deemed by Academe as impossible.

The author’s lifelong quest for experiential
knowledge of a divine maternal being within
himself had led him to sail uncharted amniotic
waters in the womb of the ever pregnant Divine
Mother of all Selflife in the Cosmos.

Some things still puzzle him and arouse his desire
to understand how the events of the Patriarchal Era
and male usurpation of the seats of learning and
government were brought about.
To the ever-questioning human mind, comprehending the mystery of sexuality has always been a
challenge. Maternity was once held in reverential awe
in matriarchal societies. Then came Aseity’s global
Trial and Error experiment. How would future civiliz
ations evolve if proud arrogant men refused to submit
to her amicable dominion and were allowed to try to
rule the world in a selfish belligerent male hegemony?
We are witnessing the culmination of her trial and
error pantomime. Christianity evolved from the
fictional myths of monotheistic Judaism. In deference
to a godfather of lies, its Mythology worshipped an allmale Trinity {Father, Son, Holy Ghost}. We know now
that all such homosexual unions are sterile. There can
be no fatherhood without woman’s ego-egg laying
function. The patriarchal era is coming to an end. It
must now be admitted that the Mythological foundations of Pauline Christianity are no longer tenable.
In the Mythologies of the matriarchal cultures of the
distant past, the mystery of new life, birth and growth
focused attention on maternal aspects of the many
titled Great Mother Goddess. Artistically exaggerated
figurines or “Venus figures” date back to Cromagnon
Time between 35,000 and 10,000 B.C.E.
About 3000 years ago a new patriarchal mindset {I,
Me, Mine} was initiated among the cattle breeding
nomadic Hebrews in the Middle East. Eventually, it was
incorporated into Greek and Roman ways of thinking
and became the intellectual determinant of future
Western culture. The author’s new book LET WOMAN
SPEAK is an hypothesis of how it came to dominate in
The Scientific Reformation
169
the West, and how it has progressed culturally until
today’s seeming inevitable self-destruction. Life on
Planet Earth is about to undergo profound changes.
LET WOMAN SPEAK is designed to effect new paradigm
shifts in cultural evolution.
It is important to be mindful that it was the
feminine principle in the supreme Deity that was so
widely venerated in long ages past. Notions of female
self-fertilization or parthenogenesis would seem to
indicate that Goddess cults preceded similar male
expressions of the beginnings of life.
Archaeology is requiring historians to reassess the
social structures of the dim past and to acknowledge
that male bias has given us the wrong picture of how
civilizations evolved. Modern scholarship has determined that the early civilizations of the Near East
belonged to the Indo-European or pre-Indo-European
families like the Sumerian and many others. Ancient
Semitic peoples were confined to the Arabian Peninsula
from whence later Hebrew tribes emerged. The latters’
semi-barbaric nomadic tribal culture wreaked havoc on
the great matriarchal city states of Sumer and the
settled woman-oriented agricultural societies which
were integrated with them.
Throughout many millennia, gender distinction and
sexual intercourse in fertility rites were associated with
procreation in spite of the long period of gestation.
Only much later did servant man superficially reason a
seeming integral male role in sexual copulation. The
erect phallus and its ejaculation of semen had to have
some meaningful function or purpose. They could
logically be given a causal role in animal propagation.
Male mind then reversed woman's superior position
and man made himself the lord and master of she who
formerly was his lady and mistress.
The Scientific Reformation
170
Herdsmen’s necessary acquaintance with the mystery of sexuality was limited to animal husbandry in
the breeding of their flocks and horses. Cultivators of
the soil and the growers of plants and trees must
certainly also have been aware of some sort of sexual
distinction and union in the observed structure of
flowers and the elaborate procedures for the male
pollination of female ovules and their subsequent seed
propagation.
Two thousand years ago in the Pauline Christianity
of the Middle East, Jewish Mythology played a foundation role. At first, the stories in the much later written
Scrolls of Genesis were part of various oral traditions.
Their written form begins: In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth. This is Mythology
in the making at its very best. It gives verbal existence
to a god who is also a creator of things which have
beginnings. To the minds of tribal story tellers and
their listeners, and subsequently to writers and
readers he was male. This hypothetical being was
given different names. They were all male, named in
the image and likeness of the male scribes and priests
who worshipped him with bloody sacrificial offerings
and wrote about him in their sacred scriptures.
One name that stands out above all others is that of
the Hebrew tribal deity, Yahweh, generally translated
as “I am who I am”. It was unquestioningly interpreted
in the Hebrew patriarchal mindset as a male god. But
was all this really so? Might it not just have been a
deliberate experimental trial and error link in cultural
evolution’s permitted wishful and aberrant thinking?
Yahweh can also mean “I am whom I will my
otherself become.” The key words in this Trial and
Error sequence of events are the “WHAT IF…” of stage
performances. Were the Hebrew tribesmen deceived
The Scientific Reformation
171
on purpose? Were they chosen ones to put on show
lessons of Good and Evil in the staged Drama of
cultural evolution? What if proud arrogant men took
control of human affairs? What if they demanded that
all human beings worship and show obeisance to a
deity who was also a Father God of lies? What if
Aseity, the pregnant Motherself of the Cosmos seemed
to let humans think that She did not exist?
It is essential for understanding the evolution and
history of modern cultural monotheism, to be mindful
that in the Hebrew language, there was, and still is, no
word for divine mother or goddess. No name meant no
existence. Theologically speaking, in the patriarchal
mindset, Judaism and its offspring were, and still are,
motherless children. Greek Socratic male-only selfsufficiency paralleled a similar Palestinian mindset. All
female divinities were officially anathema to it and to
its later derivatives, Christianity and Islamism. Simple
common folk were continually and vehemently
reprimanded for whoring after the “unspeakable”
goddess abominations of their godless neighbours.
Judaism insisted that only its own male Lord God
Almighty should be worshipped. Pauline Christianity
did, and still does, the same. Its mindset could not
conceive nor would it ever have tolerated any inclusion
of woman in an all-male same-sex godhead.
For the patriarchal authorities in Judaism and its
Christian and Islamic offshoots, their deity could in no
way be construed as heterosexual. In the metaphorical
unity of the respiring breath of the Holy Ghost, Father
and Son were literally and psychically homosexual,
from the Greek word homos meaning same. Today,
patriarchal ecclesiastical authorities still guard their
male homosexual hegemony jealously. Neophytes are
baptized in the name of a same-sex all male triunity.
The Scientific Reformation
172
Cultural Evolution bears witness to both the proposing and the disposing of hypotheses. Already existing
Egyptian and Sumerian creation myths had suggested
a heterosexual origin and content. It was a simplified
but deliberately distorted version to limit creation just
to the activity of a motherless single almighty masculine Father in his sky canopied Heaven. Reverential
worship and obedience to its all-male deity and its
priests for the past three thousand or more years is
experiencing a profound paradigm shift.
Christianity is at a crossroads in cultural evolution.
The sources of its revelation, the Bible and Tradition,
were considered and decreed to be inerrant. Both are
now in a quandary regarding their empirical verifyability. It comes as a surprise to professed Christians
of the Western world to learn that their Religion is
based on Hebrew cattle breeders’ fictional myths.
Believers are being forced to choose between either a
retrogressive childish fundamentalist worship of the
Bible and Tradition, or by cutting their umbilical link
with the past, be reborn into the becomingness of
adult age in an intellectual Scientific Reformation.
Hypothetical creator-gods were made in the image
and likeness of the men themselves who created them.
Hebrew monotheism initiated the beginning of an arrogant despotic patriarchal phase in cultural human
evolution. The common folk were naively persuaded
that their Lord God Almighty actually spoke at times to
them through Moses and subsequent prophets.
It would seem, Hebrew Mythology was the first and
only major religious cult whose absolute deity was
uniquely of male gender and in which there was no
place for any form of heterosexual ritual and worship.
Christianity and Islam followed suit. In repudiating any
form of female Self-Other Relativity in divine relation-
The Scientific Reformation
173
ships, it betrays being under the influence of a deliberate deceiver, an Evil One, a Father God of lies.
The Hebrew scribes wrote what they believed they
were being inspired to write. For them, it was their
tribal mythical God who inspired belief in his own
existence. It was this same God who was supposed to
have inspired their scribes to compile laws deemed
necessary for human behaviour.
Israelite history, for the most part, was an almost
continuous record of infidelity and disobedience to
their Lord God. Absolute obedience to Yahweh was the
dominant human virtue. The threat of severe punishment for disobedience was purported to be voiced by
Yahweh through his prophets. As captives in exile they
could but look forward to some future liberator who
would restore the honour and glory of Israel.
The combined Pauline and Johannine mindsets
melded into Christianity and its Theology. Christian
Theology is basically baptized Christian Mythology.
Imagined divine justice demanded that the honour of a
fictional Creator Father God was so outraged by
created men’s acts of disobedience that only a divine
act of propitiation and vicarious atonement could
reinstate mankind’s favour in his God’s sight. For
simple minded people, this was the all-powerful
motivating force for unquestioning obedience to all
kinds of male authority, religious, legal, civil and
domestic. Disobedience was a heinous sin. It undermined male superiority and authority.
Let Divine Woman Aseity speak her eternal love

Mindsets in Transition
YAHWEH: This Hebrew sacred and feared word
understood only male monotheism. It verbalized the
singular individual mindset of the motherless personal
male God of Israel as {I, ME, MINE}.
Pauline Christianity evolved from monotheistic Judaism.
It proclaimed and worshipped a motherless mindset,
an all-male homosexual Trinity
{Father, Son, Holy Ghost}.
A-sé-i-ty: This English four-syllabled scientific word
meaning having life from itself, understands and
verbalizes the plural social mindset of the ever
pregnant personal Mother Self of the Cosmos as
{WE, US, OURS}.
Cultural Evolution on Planet Earth might well be
about to undergo profound changes. Armies and
arsenals are being prepared for global thermonuclear
war. If such eventuates, it could abort most of the
inhabitants from the live womb of Mother Earth..
Pauline Christianity cut its umbilical link with the
female sexual source of all self-other life and love. Her
genitalia were declared to be pudenda, organs of which
she should be ashamed. Freedom now from service to
female authority and liberation from any reverential
worship of her charms ensured mankind’s salvation
and attainment of noble Socratic self-sufficiency in
The Scientific Reformation
175
what was now divinized male homosexuality. Heterosexuality was belittled. Celibacy was nominally extolled
but its practice often dubious and sexual satisfaction
sought in other unapproved ways. The maintaining of
Church property solely under strict Church control was
a primary concern why its ministers should remain
celibate. Unmarried, they would not be required to
provide for housing, clothing and feeding natural
human families out of Church funds.
In past Catholic Moral Mythology, there was no such
thing as light matter with respect to sexual sin,
whether of word, thought, or deed. Every such sin was
mortal and the unshriven were punishable in hell’s
fiery underworld for all eternity. These ideas are being
changed by an enlightened understanding of the
possible evil role of mutant genes. Paedophilia was a
poor and often an embarrassing substitute for mutual
heterosexual affection.
This author accepts Christianity's intended male
fertilizing and distinctioning role in two millennia of
cultural evolution. Human selflife can only perceive the
divine as an immanent mothering experience, analogous to the pregnant placental mammal. It is the divine
maternity in labour in the human psyche who knows
her human brainchild “You” as the son of man within.
Judaeo-Christian traditions have melded the patriarchal cultures of the West. Exclusively male priesthoods have masterminded their own ecclesiastical
development in their external worship of an invisible,
ineffable and transcendent heavenly father god and
creator up in the sky somewhere. He was out there,
inhabiting inaccessible heights. He was all-powerful,
all-knowing and as lawmaker and judge he condemned
and pardoned, was merciful and also vengeful. In the
past such a deity mirrored, and still continues to
The Scientific Reformation
176
mirror, the experience of its male worshipping selves.
They have continued to bask in the reflected glory of
an exclusive tribal lord and manly god. For the Jews of
old, The fear of the Lord was the beginning of Wisdom,
and out of a holy reverence and mortal fear of
desecration, the name of their Yahweh became an
unpronounceable Tetragrammaton, YHWH.
In the Gospel attributed to John 18/36, the Nazarene Jesus is said to have protested to Pilate that his
kingdom was not of this world. Eventually however, it
became the most powerful earthly political Empire the
world has ever known. The poor still had a Pauline sort
of gospel preached to them, but it was that of the bad
news of anathemas, excommunication and eternal
damnation for unshriven gravely sinning baptized
Christians and for all the unbaptized pagans as well.
Their teachers did not learn from a Master who was
reputedly poor in spirit, meek and humble of heart but
generally from hypocritical and stubborn ecclesiastical
authorities determined to maintain their developing
conceptual systems intact and to increase their own
power and authority. Eventually, however, the male of
any species learns his place is at the service of the
female and her offspring.
Just two word alterations are all that are necessary
to remove the inconsistencies from patriarchal monotheism and to effect the rebirth of natural religion
whilst renewing the face of Mother Earth.
The first word change is the simple replacement of
God the Father with Divine Mother. In both divine and
human parenthood, the key figure is Woman as
Mother. As on the front Pages v-vi and later on Pages
53-54, the maternal Aseity is ego-egg laying par excellence. We humans originate as her ego-eggs. In
person-defining speech, She is the first-person whose
The Scientific Reformation
177
spoken “I AM” resonates as “i am” in every one of her
selflife’s second-person “thou art” units. What we have
been accustomed to call All Creation is in reality her
spaced time becomingness. Her spaced time ovarian
words-made-flesh complete the existential self-other
relativity of her “you are” ego-eggs, now become the
first live phase of her personal human otherselves. If
we are determined to hypothesize about religious
themes, then any sort of construed Creed and its
subsequent Cult must begin with “I believe in Aseity,
the ever pregnant Mother Self of the Cosmos”. This is
passing from the fictional realm of Mythology to the
certitude of a modern Scientific Reformation.
The second word change is to abandon the Pauline
hypothesis of the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ and to restore the manipulated Greek word back
to its original meaning in Aramaic which was resuscitation. It now seems that the Nazarene reformer,
Jeshua (Jesus), did not die on the cross. He did not
have to make a vicarious personal atonement to an
outraged divine parent Paternity for the heinous
blasphemy of disobedience to the ordinances of a male
God’s despotism.
The Shroud of Turin is not merely unique. It is the
most mysterious and important artefact ever to have
been subject to intense human academic scrutiny. As
an object of human investigation and scientific study,
the Shroud has been subject to more analysis than any
other object in human history. The research in regard
to its authenticity engages more and more scholars.
Their conclusions as to whether the Carbon Dating was
valid are increasingly controversial and cast increasing
doubt as regards the integrity of some participants in
the identification procedures of 1988. Motives for not
wanting the Shroud to be proven authentic are
The Scientific Reformation
178
obvious. Conspiracy Theories are voiced. If it is true
that the mutilated but still living body of Jesus was
wrapped in the Shroud, then the Resurrection
foundation of Pauline Christianity collapses.
The type of stitching in its seams was unknown in
the Middle Ages. It has only been found elsewhere in
exactly matching cloth found at Masada near Jerusalem and which dated from the first century. The
message of the now photographed Shroud is undeniable and stunningly most persuasive. The crucified
body that was responsible for the image was not dead
when wrapped in the Shroud. There are a score or
more of identifiable blood stains. Dead bodies do not
bleed nor can they produce photo-vapograms with
myrrh and aloes.
The Catholic Church now finds itself on the horns of
an inescapable dilemma. If the Shroud is authentic,
then Jesus the Nazarene did not undergo a resurrection from the dead but only a resuscitation of the
living. If the Vatican chooses to insist on the traditional
Pauline Theology of the death and resurrection of
Jesus the Christ, then the most valued artefact of all
time is condemned by Papal Authority to be a fraud,
historically, scientifically and theologically worthless.
To continue venerating it as its most precious and
priceless relic, is ecclesiastical dishonesty and hypocrisy of the most heinous sort.
Some historical observations.
The books in the New Testament are not arranged
in the order of their being written, nor did most of
them have the precise authorship that various Church
traditions attributed to them. Other scribes concurred
in much of their writing. It is generally accepted that
for the most part, the so-called Letters of St. Paul were
The Scientific Reformation
179
written first, in the late 50s and early 60s. It is also
agreed that there was biographical material of a sort
about the Nazarene Jesus and collections of his
supposed sayings circulating in the late 50s.
It would seem that the first Gospel, attributed to
Mark, was written in the mid-60s. The other Gospels
are dated by historians as being between the years 70
to 100 or even beyond. Their actual authorship and
source material are matters of speculation by biblical
scholars. The Gospels did not originate in an early cut
and dried sequence that fundamentalist Christians and
their ardent Evangelical teachers would like to believe.
Decades elapsed before all the bits were unified.
The so-called early Church seemingly evolved for 30
or more years without any sort of official written
backup that we know of. It is not this writer’s intention
to try to make a coherent and consistent whole of the
numerous pieces of information in circulation during
and after this time. As modern Biblical scholarship
progresses, such unification becomes increasingly
impossible. There is no definitive way of distinguishing
Gospel fact from contrived Gospel fiction. It is a
general consensus among biblical scholars that a
satisfactory Life of Jesus the authentic Nazarene
Reformer cannot be written. The Gospels, in elaborating inspired pious stories about a hypothetical Jesus
of Nazareth have no basis in fact.
It takes some of the magic out of Christmas when it
is understood that the Infancy Narratives in the
Gospels of Matthew and Luke only made their
appearance at least seventy years after the event.
Jeshua was a common Aramaic word name. Its
meaning was Yahweh is salvation. Translated into
Greek, it became Iesus and its meaning continued as
Saviour. Christos was a Greek word name and
The Scientific Reformation
180
translated the Hebrew mâðîah, anointed one. With this
name Christians professed their belief that Jesus was
the Messiah.
The historical Nazarene Jeshua and the conceptualized Iesus Christos of Paul’s Greek-written Mythology
are highly controversial subjects of academic speculation. Contrary to some traditional accepted meanings,
it must be understood that Nazarene has no reference
to the village of Nazareth, but denotes a member of a
religious sect known as the Nazarenes. We know much
more about them from Archaeological research and
indirectly through recently discovered written material
like the Dead Sea Scrolls. The word Nazarene, from
the Aramaic root nazar, meant a kind of ‘picking out’
or ‘preserving’. A Nazarene was both an observer and
preserver of sacred rites.
One of the most important questions regarding the
early history of Christianity can be summed up: By
whom and under what circumstances was this Greek
name, Jesus the Christ, first thought of and given
meaningful usage in preaching and writing?
For one evolutionary motherless child sequence of
Jewish Myth-Theology, as developed by the converted
Pharisee, Saul of Tarsus, better known as the Roman
patrician Paul, the conceptual Messianic Jesus the
Christ became psychically identified with the historical
Jesus the Nazarene. Out of the latter's past perceptual
physical existence as a reformer and teacher grew the
Pauline mindset with its conceptual identification of
him as the Messiah, the Anointed Christ, the Holy One,
the Royal Liberator.
Before Paul’s conversion, only a physical person,
Jesus the Nazarene had existed. In Acts 22/8, the
word Nazarene is voiced, “Saul, Saul, why are you
persecuting me?...I am Jesus the Nazarene, and you
The Scientific Reformation
181
are persecuting me.” After his conversion (about 35
AD), this Jesus became in Greek the conceptualized
Jesus the Christ who figured now in new evolving
religious beliefs. Jesus the Nazarene was the natural
child of Jewish parents whose genes he shared in
natural human propagation. Jesus the Christ was
Paul’s mythical brainchild. It was Paul’s profound
understanding of Judaism which gave birth to the
movement which later on at Antioch would have its
followers first named, perhaps even derisively,
Christians, as recorded in Acts 11/26.
Later, in the Johannine mindset, using male terminology and Greek Philosophy as the vehicle for
theological precisioning and development in formal
systems or creeds, he was named the Incarnate Logos,
the Word of God made flesh. He was declared to be
the Son of God who came down from heaven into
Mary’s surrogate womb being conceived there by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
In their attempted representations of God the
Father, Christian artists generally had recourse to the
image of an Old Man with a beard, riding on the clouds
of the heavens. Such was depicted on the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Past and present
theologians have conceived their mythical deity as a
kind of ageless, changeless paternity. Lacking knowledge and understanding of genes and gender
distinction, they interpreted the two Genesis stories of
creation according to their own immature mindsets.
No matter how much modern theologians repudiate
their former literal interpretation of the Adam and Eve
myth and their allegiance to and alliance with The Old
Man with a beard up in the clouds somewhere, these
ideas still lurk on in their subconscious medieval
mindsets and continually surface in their liturgies. For
The Scientific Reformation
182
them and also most Christian believers, their mythical
God is an all-powerful, all-knowing HE. Generally no
rational distinction is made between God the Father
and God the Son. Those who see the Son, see also the
Father.
Technically, they are an homosexual or same sex
union, both masculine, both God, both “him”. In public
worship, liturgies counsel the faithful to lift up their
eyes to the heavens and then to bow down their heads
before their “Daddy” God. The biblical use of “Abba” as
meaning Father would correspond to our use of
“daddy”.
Christianity and the Catholic Church in particular are
on trial. Their interpretations of cultural evolution and
their destined roles in it are fruits of a male hegemony.
They do not stand up to the scrutiny of modern
scholarship. They have reached their use-by date.
Doctrinal issues and so-called orthodoxy have
always been of paramount concern to Church authorities. An oversimplified view of early Christianity has
had to give way to a growing realization that the
delusions and illusions of the patriarchal mindset soon
led the disciples of the Nazarene Jesus and their
converts into patterns of thought which their Master
would never have countenanced.
The discovery of Apocrypha and old writings as in
the Nag Hammadi texts have had a profound effect in
rethinking biblical scholarship and what happened in
the first century or two after the departure of the
Nazarene Jesus. It is true to say that apocryphal
Gospels, like those of Mary Magdalene and Judas do
not add anything new of which scholars were not
already aware. But other historical evidence tells us
about the Essenes and Nazarenes which early Church
writers were only too happy to ignore or deny. They
The Scientific Reformation
183
demand that we question whether the early history of
the Church was as simple as we had been led to
believe.
Two centuries before the Christian Era, there had
appeared among the Jews of Alexandria and Palestine
a quite extraordinary new religious movement with
mystical aspirations. In Alexandria they were known as
Therapeuts, whilst in Palestine they called themselves
Essenes and Nazarenes. The word Therapeut meant
‘one who ministers, a healer’. As its name also
suggests, they had a special interest in medicines. The
word Nazarene, from the Aramaic root nazar, meaning
a kind of ‘picking out’ or ‘preserving’ does not appear
explicitly in the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, such true
meaning in the Greek Gospels is undeniable.
The Dead Sea Scrolls reveal a lot more information
about the Essenes than was hitherto known of the
sect. The teachings of the Essenes anticipate those of
Jesus and throw much more new light on the historical
Jesus himself. There is, quite understandably, no
mention anywhere of the Essenes in the New
Testament, although we know from other sources that
their numbers were quite significant, probably several
thousand. It could well have been that the writers of
the N.T. thought that the reputation and credibility of
their Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, would have
suffered by his being associated with the suspect
spiritual movement of the much hated and highly
unorthodox Essenes and Nazarenes.
It is accepted by most scholars now that the John
the Baptist of the Gospels was a leading figure of the
sect of Qumran. It is conceded too that Jesus was
affiliated in some way with a branch of the Essene sect
known as Nazarenes, as were also Nicodemus and
Joseph of Aramathea. Scholars continue to research
The Scientific Reformation
184
how much the Essene movement influenced early
Christianity and how involved was Jesus in an organized movement before and after his Crucifixion.
The Essene community lived in caves excavated in
the rock walls of the Qaratania Mountains. These
bordered the Dead Sea and were opposite the biblical
town of Jericho. Here it was safe to live, well away
from the unfriendly dominant Orthodox Jewish
majority. They fasted at set times, abstained from
eating meat, drinking wine and sexual excess.
They lived in voluntary poverty and as a community
they recited and sang religious texts and hymns. They
wore distinctive white robes (John 20/12). The Essenes
had lay members who lived in nearby towns and
villages. There they married and brought up their
children, all the time leading pious, virtuous spiritual
lives. The parents in lay families often gave up their
first born son to become a monk in the cave
monastery. Perhaps the son of Elizabeth and
Zechariah, later to become John the Baptist was in this
category.
There was a major cultural difference between the
Therapeuts of Egypt and the Essenes of Palestine. The
former were more intellectual, spending most of their
time seeking wisdom in sacred studies, silent contemplation and performing religious rituals. Essenes on the
other hand, whether fully fledged monks in mountain
caves or simple lay folk living in villages in the plains
occupied themselves with agriculture and were also
practicing artisans. According to the Qumran Scrolls,
the Essene community lived in expectation of an
imminent end to life on earth. They prepared
themselves for a future with their God in heaven by
leading prayerful lives on earth and doing good deeds
to everyone in need.
The Scientific Reformation
185
The Essenes were linked with the Nazarenes. It
would seem that this identification was deliberately
obscured by a contrived faulty translation in and of the
Gospels. There is similarity between the sound and
spelling of the word Nazarene and the word Nazareth.
Experts in language analysis are adamant there is no
possible derivation of Nazarene from Nazareth. It is a
convenient deceit to translate Jesus the Nazarene with
Jesus of Nazareth. The earliest Greek texts of the
Gospels mention both the village of Nazareth and the
religious sect of Nazarenes.
Catholic churchgoers are aware of the letters INRI
above the representations of Jesus crucified - Iesus
Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum. Some languages translate
this as Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews. In
English, only the Jerusalem Bible gives this correct
translation. All others follow the traditional but
erroneous version of Jesus of Nazareth etc. Research
refutes any linking of Nazarene with the town of
Nazareth which probably did not even exist until some
time after Jesus’ childhood.
Pilate’s inscription indicated that Jesus was being
crucified because he was an important member,
perhaps a master or major reformer in a group of
Nazarenes. This is out of context of his being King of
the Jews. This latter epithet was foreign to Jesus’ mind
and was most likely an addition by the scribe of the
Gospel of John to stress that Jesus the Christ was the
Jewish Messiah. Nobody (John 1/46) would ever have
accepted that the King of the Jews was from an
insignificant little backwater like Nazareth. Bethlehem
was the Davidic hometown.
The Nazarenes were detested by the Sanhedrin
which was the Jewish High Council and by most
Pharisees and Jewish Scribes. The Nazarene way of life
The Scientific Reformation
186
was something new and their practices of prayer and
fasting were vastly different from traditional Judaism.
They seem to have been opposed to animal sacrifice
and absented themselves from the bloody ritual
slaughtering in the Temple at Jerusalem. Protesting
against such unsavoury elements in orthodox Jewish
worship and also denouncing the rigidity of their
application of the Mosaic Law ensured there was no
love lost between the Sanhedrin, together with the
main body of Pharisees, and the Nazarenes.
Jesus, the outspoken Nazarene reformer, was a
major thorn in their side. Reputed diatribes by him
against them are recorded in the Gospels. For them,
he was a public enemy. It was better for him to be
done away with rather than any Jewish traditions
suffer. The Roman authorities seem to have tolerated
the pacifist Jesus. He was quite harmless and not
intent on a rebellion against the Roman yoke. His
rebellion was against the Pharisees. It was the
Sanhedrin who had him arrested, brought to trial,
charged and sentenced to death.
The Incarnation and Redemption are dominant
themes in the Roman Catholic Religion . Like it or not,
Biblical Theology is really Biblical Mythology. Biblical
scholarship researches human fictions, not Aseity’s
existential self↔other relativities which are new to it.
Peter has the most profound admiration for Jesus the
Nazarene, the teacher and reformer, but he cannot
empathize with his religious beliefs which were strictly
determined in the Jewish patriarchal mindset.
Aseity is initiating a radical paradigm shift in her
own relation to the birth and death of the son of man
born of woman. Jesus the Nazarene was historical and
factual. Jesus the Christ was conceptual and of a
human mind’s invent. The Nazarene Jesus was a
The Scientific Reformation
187
physical entity. Jesus the Christ was a psychical
construct. As Paul’s worded brainchild, he was made
flesh by being intentionally identified with the physical,
factual Nazarene Jesus, the son of Mary and Joseph.
Unless Mary’s own child had developed naturally
from one of her numerous ego-eggs, fertilized
somehow or other by someone, she could in no real
way be understood now as a true mother. The reality
is that in the ovaries of the mother of Jesus, there
would have been thousands of live ova like the ones
from which her first born and other children were
formed. Like all such once living human incarnational
material, her mature unfertilized ova just disintegrated
in time and were aborted in natural menstrual cycles.
There are two contrasting viewpoints concerning the
conception and birth of the child, first known as
Jeshua, who grew up in Palestine to become Jesus the
Nazarene and eventually becoming regarded as The
Master. The first viewpoint is what would have been
natural to any ordinary observer. Jeshua and his
parents were Jews. His first disciples and followers
were Jews, mainly Nazarenes.
It was ingrained Jewish tradition that men and
women should marry, should consummate their union
and should raise families. Following this rigid Jewish
tradition, Jeshua’s future parents would have married,
would have consummated their union and have raised
a family. Jesus would have had brothers and sisters.
He was destined, moreover, to become locally quite a
famous rabbi reformer.
Jewish commentators affirm that it would have been
impossible for any young rabbis, like Jesus and Saul of
Tarsus, aspiring to become Masters in Israel and enjoy
the respect of their peers without being married. It is
only now after almost 2000 years that scholars who
The Scientific Reformation
188
dare to suggest that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were
married, are not dragged into the public arena and
stoned to death for such heinous blasphemy.
The other viewpoint is set out in the Gospels of
Matthew and Luke where the conception, birth and
childhood of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God are given
quite elaborate treatment, albeit some seventy or
more years after the event. This is the way the
members of the early Church wanted to express their
faith and understanding of how Paul’s brainchild Jesus
the Christ had become incarnate. Because he was the
Son of God who died on the Cross for the sins of
mankind, who was raised from the dead by his Father,
ascended into Heaven and was seated now at his right
hand, it required that his conception and birth be truly
unique, something completely different from the
ordinary.
Acceptance of Mary's divine maternity has been the
touchstone of orthodoxy in much past Christian
theological disputation. In their ignorance of the role of
the female gamete-ovum, past churchmen could only
conceive Mary's motherhood of Jesus as what today
would be treated as a species of surrogate parenthood.
For them, following what the Bible and Tradition would
seem to imply, she was not a true mother with her
own live ego-egg’s X-chromosomal contribution, but
her womb was merely a flesh recipient and implanted
receptacle of a supernaturally conceived and miraculously incarnated divine person transplant. What do
the present Masters in Christendom think actually
happened when they say The Word was made flesh?
It is no use theologians trying to avoid this now
basic inconsistency in supposedly inerrant divine
revelation with the argument that the Biblical writers
and Fathers of the early Church knew and cared
The Scientific Reformation
189
nothing about Biology and Genetics. All the more
reason for theologians now to learn the facts and to
modify their teaching accordingly. Every male father
and son know the absolute necessity of a female
mother. Apart from their literal biological usage, any
other pious metaphorical father-son meanings are
simply symbolic and invalid now for expression of
religious belief.
Unless teaching authorities can explain otherwise,
the Gospel accounts of Mary’s virginal conception and
birth of her child and the Definitions and Decrees of
Centuries of Church Councils can only be classified as
contrived fictions of conveniently and expediently
exaggerated legends and misunderstood outdated
myths. Together with them, must be included the
Magisterial insistence that Mary and Joseph never
consummated their marriage and as a consequence,
Jesus did not have brothers and sisters.
The distinction between the historical physical Jesus
the Nazarene Reformer and Paul’s make believe
psychical construct Jesus the Christ is fundamental to
any real and satisfactory understanding of the recorded events of early Christianity. With this distinction,
the Resuscitation of the crucified Nazarene Jesus and
the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, take on
completely new perspectives.
For many Churchmen and the faithful believers in
the pews, it is simply inconceivable that their deity
could have allowed them to be deceived. The inerrancy
of Scripture was sacred. In no way could they even
consider that the mission of the Jewish teacher and
social reformer Jesus was anything other than what
they had always been taught. To suggest, as the
Shroud of Turin does, that he did not die on the cross
The Scientific Reformation
190
but that he was resuscitated and then departed soon
after from the Palestinian scene is scandalous.
It is in relation to the death and burial of Jesus that
Science is finding itself questioning and threatening to
undermine Pauline Christianity’s most basic and
cherished idea. In this new context, the expression
ANTICHRIST is valid and extraordinarily meaningful.
Peter is absolutely and vehemently PROJESUS. He
cannot accept, indeed he is opposed to (anti) the
myth-fiction of the Pauline Christ.
For centuries, the Catholic Church has held as
sacred and venerated its most celebrated relic, the
Holy Shroud of Turin. In 1898, at a public showing of
the Shroud, for the first time in history, a photograph
was taken of it using the recently developed art of
photography. Modern photography demonstrates that
its faint, seemingly blurred outlines act as a kind of
photographic negative. When photographed, the new
negative now becomes a positive, revealing the face
and body of a man who underwent all the details
associated with the sufferings and burial of Jesus as
recorded in the Gospels. Further studies revealed a
fearful possibility.
From jealously guarding its authenticity, the Vatican
now began having second thoughts about accepting it
as genuine. It faced a devastating dilemma. There are
a score or more marks of well-defined bleeding on the
Shroud. Dead bodies do not normally bleed, nor do
they sweat and have fever conditions necessary to
produce photochemical negative images through
contact with myrrh and aloes.
Was the man who was responsible for the blood
imprints on the winding sheet, and the subsequent
vapogram gradually impressed on it still alive when
laid on it in the tomb? If the Shroud were authentic,
The Scientific Reformation
191
the main body of Christian Theology would become
irrelevant and need to be rewritten and Jesus the
Nazarene’s teaching mission understood anew. This is
the situation which threatens the very foundations of
Christianity itself. What IF the Turin Shroud is proven
to be what its supporters claim for it? In the minds of
some Guardian Prelates in the Vatican, one fact stood
out – The evidence of the Holy Shroud must never be
allowed to contradict the official Mythology of the
Roman Catholic Church.
There are perplexing, indeed incomprehensible,
details in some Biblical narratives. Not the least of
these is the about one hundred pounds’ weight of a
mixture of myrrh and aloes which John, or the author
of the fourth Gospel, says that Nicodemus brought to
the tomb along with the body of Jesus, John 19/39.
This ‘about’ a hundredweight is a huge quantity of
extracts from medicinal herbs. Such herbs, like aloe
vera today, can be easily made into tinctures and
ointments, and were commonly used in the treatment
of extensive areas of mutilated tissue. In combination,
mixtures of myrrh and aloes represented the most
effective healing agents for wounds as well as
affording the greatest possible protection against
infection. Such medicaments, and in such quantity,
could only have been intended to cure and restore
large areas of the damaged skin tissue and wounds of
a still living person (Mark 16/1, Luke 23/56).
The writer obtained his Diploma of Pharmacy in 1943.
He has studied and handled myrrh and aloes. Though
they could be included under the Greek generic term
or word άρωμα, meaning aromatics, myrrh and aloes
are not spices. They are resinous exudations of plants.
They were never part of Jewish burial ritual as
described above. Myrrh and aloes, in combination,
The Scientific Reformation
192
were among the most powerful antiseptic and healing
agents known at the time. They were valued also as
aromatics. Every week, as a Pharmacy apprentice,
this writer would dust the bottles in the Dispensary.
Among the latter was a bottle labelled Tinct. Myrrh.
Co. [Compound Tincture of Myrrh and Aloes]. In
those days, its use was limited to painting on sore
or ulcerated gums and as an ingredient of mouth
washes and gargles for ulcerated throats. The only
purpose of such an extraordinary quantity, a
hundred pounds weight, in the circumstances of
John 19/39 would have been to restore and resuscitate
the live mutilated comatose body of a drugged
crucified man. Pilate had marvelled that he was
already dead when the Nazarenes, Nicodemus and
Joseph, asked for the body of their Master.
Christianity is becoming divided. Most Christians
who still care about their traditional Religion remain
loyal to the old ideas and ways of thinking. They are
not disposed to abandon the former fundamentals of
their Faith. On the other hand, many persons of
goodwill search for more knowledge of, and experience of, meaningful religion. In their quest for union
with the divine, they now accept that in the planned
evolution of human culture, we are outknowing our
cherished myths and outgrowing our revered cults.
If the Turin Shroud is authentic, the Mass has lost all
its meaning. Paul’s Mythology of the Messianic ChristRedeemer and his vicarious atonement for the sins of
mankind becomes pious old fashioned make believe.
The Resurrection becomes once more what the original
Aramaic word intended, namely Resuscitation.
This alternative understanding of the events of the
first Good Friday would remain only pure conjecture
were it not now for the evidence revealed by the
The Scientific Reformation
193
Shroud. Instead of being merely an hypothesis, there
is now factual scientific confirmation that the body that
was laid on the winding sheet was not dead. A dead
body, without a functioning heart, does not normally
bleed. Such Shroud vapograms can only be produced
by the interaction of warm moist vapours on chemicals
in contact with the surrounding cloth. Such vapours
could only be from a live fever-ridden body.
With the publishing of the carbon dating results and
their adverse judgment on the Shroud’s authenticity,
ecclesiastics might have hoped that they could return
to the status quo of traditional belief in the death of
Jesus on the Cross and the latter’s memorial incorporation into the Liturgy of the Mass.
Sooner or later, the Masters in Christendom will
have to concede that the historical Jesus, the Nazarene Reformer, had the genes of his parents who must
have consummated their marital union. They will also
have to concede that this author's thesis of Self-Other
Existential Relativity as enunciated in his restructured
foundations of Mathematical Logic takes the mystery
out of the Trinity. Finally they must come to terms with
the situation of John 19/39.
The Christian community was made up, for the most
part, of just ordinary people who must have wondered
quite often about what preceded the public ministry of
Jesus the Nazarene and what happened after that. To
satisfy their legitimate curiosity, it was necessary for
something to be written. Just how much of this
described genuine historical events, or how much was
just contrived pious fiction to supplement and make
more plausible a novel emerging mythical Theology,
was no doubt argued by critics and lobbyists from the
Gospels’ first appearance right up until now.
The days of appeasing, with bloody rituals of animal
The Scientific Reformation
194
slaughtering and unbloody sacramental sacrifice, the
wrath of some legendary divine fathergod offended by
acts of childish human disobedience are hopefully and
thankfully numbered. Likewise there is drawing to a
close in the Evolution and History of Religion that
period of symbolic redemptive ritual and liturgical
worship as performed by a hierarchically designated
male priesthood in Holy Orders. The Sacrifice of the
Mass was decreed as a retrospective enactment of
what was once a ritual human sacrifice. A well-planned
political assassination, passively suicidal and juridically
expedient, was rationalized much later on into a formal
conceptual theological system and liturgy of divinehuman self-other atonement.
The Gospel's understanding of Jesus' Father-Son
relation was expressed in the context of a strictly
patriarchal tradition dating back to the first patriarch
Abraham himself. On Calvary, the original fictional
motherless child hypothesis of a divine patrilinearity
was seemingly abandoned and the promise of a new
more meaningful universal Mother-Son Queendom was
voiced, John 19/27.
In the new creation or rebirth, an obsolete Pauline
Theology of a Fall and a Redemption and Justification
will be superseded by the ever relevant concept of a
universal participation in building up the TempleWomb of pregnant Aseity’s Selflife Spirit within us. The
clean oblation that humanity will accord to Aseity is a
covenant, sealed psychically with the resonant echoing
of her divine selflife. The duty of self-sacrifice entailed
in the negative feedback of its former "I-me-mine",
now plurally translated, will guarantee to each human
person also the right to full priestly participation in the
regenerated unity or mystical body, "We-Us-Ours",
Selflife Incorporated, Aseity Inc.
The Scientific Reformation
195
In their book The Jesus Conspiracy, Kersten and
Gruber set out a lengthy and comprehensive alternative version of the Resurrection story. They insist
that the Biblical translations which involve the word
Resurrection are derived originally from an Aramaic
verb meaning ‘resuscitate’. The Greek translations of
this original concept were άνίστημι (anhistemi) and
meant to ‘awaken’, ‘get up’ and άνάστάσισ (anastasis)
meaning ‘rising up’. Only in the Apostle Paul’s later
advanced mythological interpretations is anhistemi
made to mean ‘raise from the dead’ and anastasis
‘resurrection’.
The ‘empty tomb’ discovery, following a day or two
after the Crucifixion, gave rise eventually to two
schools of thought. Both accepted that the Nazarene
Jesus was now alive. The first school, comprising his
Essene and Nazarene friends Nicodemus, Joseph of
Aramathea, Mary Magdalene and others in the know of
the medical treatment applied to the once crucified
body, had no reason not to accept that Jesus had not
died on the Cross. He was very much alive. What
happened next?
That is part of the Jesus Enigma. He still must have
had many enemies and also many friends apart from
the chosen disciples. Disillusioned perhaps, he might
have thought that after all that had happened, it would
be best not to be seen to meddle in Temple politics
any further and to leave Palestine altogether. The
attraction of a more contemplative life might have
induced him to go East to India. Holger Kersten, in his
book Jesus lived in India gives a plausible treatment of
this theme.
Most of his Nazarene friends would have remained
in Palestine. There was some bond between them
since they had all been associated with the Master
The Scientific Reformation
196
Jesus. We do not know exactly how they grouped
themselves together until the converted Paul came on
the scene. He initiated the second school of thought.
His message was of the Nazarene Jesus, now become
Paul’s brainchild Jesus the Christ. He was the longed
for Messiah. He had been crucified and died on the
Cross. The Lamb of God had been slain to take away
the sins of the world. He had restored mankind’s
favour with God the Father. Atonement had been
made by the vicarious sacrifice of a human first born
son of man to appease an offended Father God’s
wrath.
Under Paul’s authority, this second make-believe
version of the resuscitation now became the
resurrection. By fair means or foul, it was made to
prevail in the early Church community and was taken
for granted by the writers of the Gospels. The
traditional Pauline same sex male interpretation of
patriarchal Religion still has the sanction of Christian
Church authorities.
Paul’s visionary experience was a divinely determined genuine supranormal psychical phenomenon.
He did not set out to deceive his fellow Jews. It was in
the If…then…plan of Aseistic Evolution. His teaching
and writings were inspired in a patriarchal mindset
which at times echoed the double-crossing distortions
of the Godfather of lies. They were only relevant then
to the latter’s continuing culture.
If the Shroud is authentic, the Jesus Enigma is
unveiled. Thanks to a hundredweight of natural healing
medicines, Jesus did not die from being hung on the
cross. Comatose, he was taken down and pharmaceutically resuscitated.
Even if scientific carbon dating is not allowed by the
Vatican to be applied to uncontaminated genuine
The Scientific Reformation
197
samples from the Shroud to authenticate its age, the
implications of the uniqueness of the Shroud itself
becomes a dilemma for Pauline Christianity. As an
object of scientific research, it is bewildering in its
mystery. There is nothing in the historical data, past or
present, of human observation to be compared to it.
Without an original, it cannot be called a copy or
forgery. As a work of art from the Middle Ages, it
anticipates the invention of photography by almost a
thousand years. The Catholic Church now finds itself
on the horns of an inescapable dilemma. If the Shroud
is authentic, then Jesus the Nazarene did not undergo
a resurrection from the dead but only a resuscitation of
the living. There was no First, nor future Second
Coming of Christ, the Son of God the Father.
This writer believes that the demise of patriarchal
monotheism is imminent. For him, “Abba”, the Pauline
“Daddy” God only existed within Paul’s own mind. The
Sign of the Cross is a misconception. It bears witness
to the burden which human beings, especially women,
have had to bear due to the arrogant pride and deceit
of malekind’s Godfather of lies.
The whole story, from another viewpoint of Science
and History, is set out in the controversial book by
Holger Kersten and Elmar R. Gruber, entitled The
Jesus Conspiracy published by Element Books. The
sample cut from the Shroud had been weighed with
precision. For Kersten and Gruber, the sum of the
weights of the three received pieces as measured in
the individual selected laboratories did not agree with
this. Likewise the combined dimensions of the three
pieces did not match with those of the original sample.
When the Shroud had been exhibited in 1978,
among other observations it had been subject to the
very latest photographic techniques. Subsequent
The Scientific Reformation
198
micro-photographic analysis enabled the weave of the
cloth to be observed with the minutest detail. The
distributed sample pieces had also been photographed
when received by the laboratories. Though at first
glance the pieces looked similar to the cloth of the
original Turin Shroud, it became apparent on further
detailed study that the laboratory authorities had been
given pieces of a different cloth for dating.
The conclusion of Holger Kerston reads as follows.
Therefore, although the fabrics looked similar
at first glance, they were not the same after all.
The proof is conclusive: the laboratories were
given pieces of the wrong cloth for dating, cloth
which did not come from the Turin Shroud!
The later-added fourth control specimen had been
cut from a vestment, the cope of St. Louis d’Anjou. It
is obvious from the published results of the carbon
measurements of the three laboratories that the
supposed sample of the Shroud gave almost the exact
age as that taken from the cope of St. Louis d’Anjou.
As more inconsistencies were brought to light, it
became evident that the scientists and authorities
involved in the investigation had something to hide.
Contradictions were revealed in the official version of
the events of the whole procedure.
The part played by the Vatican throughout the
whole affair is far from transparent. No reason was
given why the Pontifical Academy of Sciences was
excluded from the final stages of the experiment. To
many it only made sense if, having pre-programmed
the whole procedure, the Vatican now used this ruse to
be able to deny any involvement and thus to avoid
having to answer any further questioning. It was more
than content to let the scientists attend to their
science. The ecclesiastical authorities would continue
The Scientific Reformation
199
to adhere to the traditional Gospel account of the
Crucifixion and Burial.
But the Gospel accounts of these events, not only
contained their own inconsistencies and difficulties, but
the latter could be much better interpreted and understood in the light of the evidence of the Shroud. An
alternative narrative of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial
would have Nicodemus and Joseph of Aramathea, both
intimate friends and admirers of Jesus, executing a
well-planned strategy to rescue their master. This
would be effected without the consent or participation
of the other apostles.
By administering a narcotic drink after only a short
time as he hung on the cross, he would have passed
into a deathlike coma, John 19/29. This was sufficiently effective to persuade his executioners to
believe he was already dead and there was no need to
break his legs as was done with the other two
malefactors crucified with him. It did occasion,
however, Pilate’s marvelling that he was already dead,
Mark 15/44, when the same Nicodemus and Joseph
asked him for Jesus’ body. Jesus’ loud cry just before
‘he gave up the ghost’ was inconsistent with someone
about to die of suffocation, Luke 23/46.
Removal of the seemingly lifeless comatose body to
a nearby tomb was part of the plan. There they would
treat its external wounds with the best healing agents
available. This was not to be a burial sequence, but a
skilful medical procedure. There is deceptive information in the Gospel accounts.
Normal Jewish burial ritual only included washing
the corpse and afterwards anointing it with oil before
wrapping it in a shroud. Adding spices is nowhere
mentioned in Rabbinic texts and was never part of
The Scientific Reformation
200
Jewish custom nor was embalming which would have
required the surgical removal of the stomach contents.
The evidence from the Shroud is quite different
from the Gospel version. The bloodstains and wounds
reveal that the body was neither washed nor oiled.
Instead it received healing treatment with the most
powerful natural medicinal agents known at the time.
There is no reason for the faithful in the pews to be
disillusioned by this turn of events and this new
knowledge and understanding of the origins and
present status of Christianity. An integral Neo-catholic
Church, reborn in a Scientific Reformation, is perhaps
much closer than we have dared to think.
The Beautiful Lady of Lourdes, Fatima and of other
sites bespeaks a loving caring gentle Mother, ever
mindful of the Children in her Selflife womb. The
childlike minds of both well-meaning Christians and
non-Christians alike, of pious folk of The East and of
The West have always intuitioned a real divine Mother
Self, sharing her selflife with them all, her begotten
spaced time human gods and goddesses. Praying to
Our Lady, the ever pregnant divine Mother of all selflife
in the Cosmos, has been and will continue to be a
meaningful act of universal religion.
