    MERRY MITHRAS

    Ok, so I have been sharing a lot of stuff about Red and White Mushrooms for the religious holiday coming up (they are known as Amanita Muscaria or Fly Agaric Musrooms), and I posted a meme about how the Chukchee people wait for Reindeer to eat Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, then they collect their urine and drink it. But now I am going to share more science behind these mushrooms, as well as other "Magic Mushrooms" people use around the world.

    Amanita Muscaria mushrooms are legal in most places, and they are well known for being the "Alice in Wonderland" mushrooms, and "Smurf/Gnome Houses" or Fairy/Toad Chair/Stools. They can be found in various myths around the world, and have been used to turn people in to Warriors and Werewolves (one Native American culture has stories of how they used to be able to turn in to wolves, and they have saved tapestries that their ancestors made with Amanitas on them.

    Amanita Muscaria grows pretty much all over the world. You can find them in Oregon, or Siberia, and I am pretty sure England. Those are specific places, but there are tons of places you can find them. The Molecule inside the Mushrooms that has effects is known as "Ibotenic Acid". Ibotenic acid does not actually have any effects unless it is broken down. This is why the Chukchee people drink the Urine of the Reindeer, because then it has already been fully broken down and has its full effects. Amanita has been reported to be effective even after 6 passes through the human body. There is a book written about a theory that Jesus may have had a supply of mushrooms and was sharing his Urine, but it is just a theory.

    To break down the Amanita structure you would "Decarboxylize" it. I think this can be done by cooking it in to bread or something, but the way I have read they do it in a lab is by taking Ibotenic acid and Refluxing it. This means they boil it, but have coils of cold water above the boil. The steam gets directed towards these coils, and the steam becomes liquid and drips back down. This does something like the stomach and breaks it down.

    The Amanita Muscaria is not said to have many Visual effect, but it can distort the size of things. Meaning, it can make you feel taller than you are (Mario), or make things feel smaller in your hands or bigger in your hands than usual, etc.

    Another legal Mushroom that has been used by some cultures are the "Puffball" mushrooms. They do not cause visuals, only Auditory hallucinations, meaning you will hear things. The specific kinds of Puffballs that have been used Culturally are: Lycoperdon, Bovista and Calvatia

    Then there are "Magic Mushrooms" or "Shrooms", these are Psilocybin mushrooms, they are illegal to grow unless you are in New Mexico (where it is legal to grow them for personal use) and I think in Florida you are allowed to possess them as long as they are not dry, because they grow so commonly in the cow fields and sometimes people don't even realize they picked those kind. These have visual Hallucinations.

    Panaeolus Mushrooms are very similar to Psilocybin mushrooms, but they are legal to grow as long as you are just growing them for fun and not as a manufacturing type thing. And they are legal to possess as long as no one can prove you have any intent to do anything with them (meaning, don't have them dried out or bagged up like a drug dealer, unless you are a drug dealer and this is not written for you).

    Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms have a very high dose, like 10+ Grams. You can probably use less if you cook them. And don't take more than like 20 Grams, because taking too much can become poisonous, but you have to take a LOT.

    "Magic Mushrooms" or Panaelus mushrooms have doses between 2 grams and 5 grams, depending what you want from it.

    I suggest trying closing your eyes on all of these, for at least like 5 minutes, just to see what you can see when you close your eyes.

    This is not a recreational guide, this is only being posted because it is Mithras season, and I want people to be safe while practicing the religious holiday.

    Sheriff, Judge, Mayor, District Attorney, City Manager, Comptroller, etc. These are all people who get ELECTED, in every town. No one gets promoted to these offices, no one is entitled to these offices, these are offices YOU can be in. I lived with Darrin McGillis in Florida, he had to sell the Microwave to put up signs to run for Governor. He lost, but he was running for a crazy position. I have also seen people win elections in the Florida keys by having people hold signs with their names on it, and since the keys only has 1 road/highway up and down, everyone in that town sees the sign. So in small towns, anyone can win.

    If anyone is wondering where I got the idea that the Mushroom was related to Mithra, this was not something I made up after looking at a few photos, and it is not something I found on some conspiracy website that people are probably thinking I found it from. My ideas that I have been sharing came from reading 2 books (Main;y 2, but other contributed). First is "Mushrooms, Myth and Mithra: The Drug Cult that Civilized Europe" by Carl A. P, Ruck, who is fairly well known in this field (Mythology and Entheogenic plants rituals). Many people don't realize this, but when Archaeologists dig they find things like Ancient board games, and weird shaped weights that are meant to be used on scales, and before anyone knows how the games or weights work, someone has to come in and figure out what they are. Because sometimes they just look like nothing. Carl A. P. Ruck does similar work, but he works to find out what plants they are talking about in ancient myths.

    In his book he lays out this connection:

    1. Mithra was "Born from a stone" or "Born from a Pine cone", and when the Amanita is in its premature stage it looks like a little white rock or Pine cone. This is sometimes called the "Cosmic Egg" in myth.

    2. Mithra has a red cape and a red Phrygian cap. The Phrgian cap itself has been traditionally made from a Fungus, and the Amanita has a very bright red cap. This hat is now most well known as a "Santa Hat".

    3. The Amanita Muscaria Mushroom grows under the Pine tree, and the Mithra worshipers used to decorate pine trees in the Woods for Mithras. So the same way people bring a tree in their house and decorate it today, they used to decorate the tree outside and wait for stuff to appear under it magically. Or, grow under it.

    Then he goes on to show the different connections throughout the various cultures, and he explains the rituals with the bulls, etc.

    The Second Book is called "The Mysteries of Mithras: The Pagan Belief That Shaped the Christian World". But that is kind of a whole other topic, even though it is the same topic. So i will post that later.

    Some people may have heard of the "Sacred Mushroom and the Cross" book from the 70s and thought I was talking about that. If you have not heard of that Book, it was a book by a Professor named John M. Allegro, and in the book he tries to say that Jesus never existed and that the Amanita Muscaria Mushroom was the actual Jesus. This part of his book caused a media frenzy and the idea was picked apart and considered crazy.

    But since that book was written, more things have been discovered that proves some of his other ideas. He was probably wrong about Jesus being a myth about a personified Mushroom, but now we know that he was most likely right about Fertility cults and Mushrooms cults starting modern Religion.

    The book "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross" was reprinted in 2009, and Carl A. P. Ruck wrote a more articulate version of John Allegro's ideas.

    So now people are probably wondering how exactly Mithra connects to Christianity. You have seen the connection between the Christmas tree, and the Presents and the Mushroom. But Mithra himself has not been explained as a God.

    Mithra can be traced back to one of the earliest religions (before Monotheism was invented by Zoroaster) where he is known as Mica or Mehr. Mithra was and is the God of Promises and Contracts, which is why Christmas Holidays have always been associated with gift giving. Mithra, being the God of promises and contracts, was commonly involved in Marriage. If you noticed, the people in the New Testament pretty much died in jail and stuff, but Christianity is very focused on Marriage. During the Time of Paul, Mithraism was popular. It had made its way all the way from Persia, to Greece, to Rome and Mithraism was one of the last Pagan religions to survive in the Roman empire because it was ingrained into the politics, so even Christian leaders would do Mithraic ceremonies, like Marriage. Paul was converting Pagans to Christianity, and if you read what he said according to the Bible, he said "I am all things to all men" and he was doing that so that people would like Jesus.

    Mithra can be found in pretty much EVERY culture. A blatant example (and other examples) can be seen in the Middle East. If you have ever heard of the "Oman" people, when they become men according to their culture, they have to start carrying a knife. But not just any knife, a Khanjar. Below is a Omani man with his knife, then below that is the Emblems of Mithra, which is the Phrgian cap and the J shaped knife.
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And this is actually not even rare. Mithraism was popular all the way from the Island of Britain to the Middle East. If you remember ISIS was chasing the Yizidi people up that Mountain and America had to bomb the ISIS members at the bottom of the mountain? The Yizidi people are a still practicing Mithraic group that is seen as related historically to the birth of Christianity. If you look up "Yizidi" you will see people wearing the Red and White Mushroom colors. And below is the Kurdish Flag, which has the Star of Mithras on it. Then, if you look at pretty much any Middle Eastern Flag you will find the Colors Red, White and Green. Which is out Christmas Colors.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yazidis
    [​IMG]

    Mithraism was the base nature religion before the Romans, Christians and Muslims started making Empires. Then the Empires absorbed the Mithraism and suppressed it. But it was always there. Today, we see it in the Christmas Holiday and in the nations described above. As well as in Christianity/Catholicism.

    Most people have probably heard of Bull fighting. Mithra was known for killing a bull, and wearing a Red Cape. Bull Fights are pretty much a perfect example of how we are still doing Mithraic ceremonies around the world.

    Just random in case anyone didn't notice. Ferguson did not happen in a vacuum. The Police killed 2 kids with fake guns now in like 2 months, they killed a guy who robbed a store because he was supposed to be on some kind of Anti-Depressants and other stuff that he hadn't taken, then Eric Garner, then Ferguson, then the guy in St. Louis who stole a soda and pulled out a knife while his friends filmed it.

    And if you are thinking "They were criminals, they deserve to die" then how come Charles Manson and the Unibomber made it to jail cells?

    If you look at the US Senate Seal, and the US Army Seal, you will see a Phrygian cap. If you have ever heard of the Assassination of Julius Cesar, after the Assassination, the Assassins went out to the Public and put a Phrygian cap on a Pole. This was meant to be a Symbol of Freedom/Liberty from a Tyrant.

    If you think the Legislative and Executive branches are trying to hard to be "professional Upper Class" and not trying hard enough to be human in your state or country, put a Red Hat on top of a Pole, and take a Picture of it. This symbol is a symbol that is still in the US Senate Seal and the US Army Seal, so the Government knows what it means.

    And just a random fact, but Democracy means we get to pick our leaders, and that we one day could be elected. But it has become pretty Blatant that only certain people can run for office. I wasn't even in favor of Ron Paul because he wants an old America not a new one, but people supported him and the Media would hardly even listen to him. And that was a guy that was pretty well known before the Campaign.

    We only get to choose between certain people, usually people phrase it as "The best of 2 evils". But I don't think we have to do that.

    For example, Hilary Clinton is probably going to be the next president, which is awesome because we haven't had a female president. But wouldn't it be awesome if we had a female president that wasn't making all her money by doing speeches talking nice to bankers?

    If you have a Santa hat at your house, just take it some time and put it on top of a pole somewhere. And take a Picture of it. Over the next few years, Christmas can become a Holiday where the Politicians remember they are supposed to keep their promises. Mithra is the God of promises/contracts and the Politicians should use his holiday properly.

    Just a random question, does anyone feel like the Democratic party is doing their Job, or have you learned more about Democracy from this thread than from Democrats?

    And do you feel like the Republicans are doing their job? Or does it seem like they are more worried about Guns and Taxes? Go look up "Republicanism" and "Liberty Pole" and tell me if you feel like Mitch McConnel belongs on that side. For example, the Liberty pole was part of the French Revolution, where they rounded up all the rich people and chopped their heads off. And it was the same hat used by the Muslim assassins who were defending their land from invaders. Does that sound like any modern Republican you know of? Or do modern Republicans want blood from outside nations? And even a bulked up police force.

    Ok, so back to Mithra/Christmas.

    Zoroastrianism was the first religion to be Monotheist, because Zoroaster took all the powers from all the Gods and gave them to 1 God. But that started 3000 Years ago, and since then Mithra has made his way in to a higher position. Zoroastrianism was not only the first religion to have 1 main God, but it was also the first religion to have a constant war between Good and Evil. Today, the Zoroastrian Fire Temple is called "The Court of Mithra" and the Priests are given a Mithraic mace with 100 edges.

    Mithra himself is seen as Between Light and Dark, a Path of Liberation. And Mithra's name itself has 3 meanings in Farsi. Mithra is Love, Mithra is the Sun, and Mithra is Friend.

    The Mandrake plant is known as "Mithra's Plant". This is the plant from Harry Potter that had screaming babies for roots. In real life they have roots like kind of look like little people, and in Medeival Europe they used to think that the plants actually had screaming babies on them. They would tie a dog to the plant and cover their ears, then make the Dog pull the plant out and get the curse from hearing the scream. That was not just made up for Harry Potter, people actually used to think that. Mandrake is a Sedative and Poison.

    Mithra can be found in Chinese mythology as "the Friend" and there is a possible link between Mithra and the "Last Buddha" or the "Buddha of the Future" who is the embodiment of love and is known as "Maitreya".

    I'm surprised that no one has criticized you for your casual tinkering with methanol (wood alcohol), which can be deadly if consumed like ordinary alcohol (ethanol), and doing so without pointing out the hazard.

    This is kind of a dark part of Civilization that no one talks about, but in the past, it was believed that when you built a structure for a building, it was considered best to use a human body in the foundation. Many old churches around Europe and other places still have markers with the name of people buried in the foundation of different churches and tons of Ghost stories exist to this day because of these bodies in these buildings. Sometimes it is a knight or a monk, but usually it is a church. This idea still exists in regular culture when people talk about building things on Indian Burial grounds.

    That version of Building no longer exists, but the groups that built those building still exist. Such as, the Catholic and Protestant Churches. And there are still building methods that are used that have meaning similar to that of putting a body in the foundation.

    The first example is the Cornerstone, which people sometimes use as Time Capsules. Any large building usually has a Cornerstone somewhere, I have seen them in places like Airports and Libraries.

    According to myth, there was a man named Hiram Abiff. He was the Grand Master in control of building King Solomon's temple, but there were three Wage earners who wanted to earn more money for their work and decided to tell Hiram they would go to other nations and pretend to be Grand Masters themselves if he did not pay them more. So they went to the temple where he prayed and blocked the 3 entrances. One of them met him on the East side and demanded to be named master, but Hiram told him that he could not teach him those things without permission from the King of Tyre and King Solomon. So the worker slit Hirman's throat with a 24 inch measuring gauge, and when he turned away from his attacker, he met another one of the workers at the South door who hit him in the chest with an Architecture's square. He turned again and was hit with a Mallet/Gavel at the West door. He died and they carried in through the West door and later buried him in a 6 ft grave and they fled. 9 other workers had backed out of the plan went to the Grand Master wearing White Aprons and White Gloves as tokens of innocence, When the 3 were found, they suffered horrible deaths. No one knows if this myth is true, because the temple was destroyed in 597 BC, according to Ancient Historians.

    During the Hellenistic Era, the cult that held these "Mysteries" was spread out of Crete and Egypt, Mithraism came from Babylon, and then the Roman government eventually adopted them as their Government religion until Christianity took over. This can be found by searching the "Mithraic Mysteries" to see the Roman Government or "Minoan Genius" to see the ceremonies being done in Crete.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraic_mysteries

    Emperor Constantine Converted to Christianity in 312 AD, and commissioned the people in the Government religion to build the Churches of Rome, which started a tradition of Giant stone Churches and strange Symbols on the Churches that are sometimes not related to Christianity at all. During this time most people could not read, so when they built the churches they built them so that people would learn from the Symbols. For example, in the early church the Choir would stand behind a screen/veil that only allowed the people to get glimpses of them, which would make them feel more like they were angels or souls. This is still used in Catholic Confession boxes.

    Within 300 years, these groups were making Churches all over Europe, and by 1217 they had adopted the French name for "Stone Craftsman" which is "Maszun", and by 1292 they were commonly using Huts to store their tools and eat meals, that they would call the "Lodge". These groups became well established and the government hired them to build everything from military forts, to palaces. Around 1220 the Masonry industry became Unionized, and there were guilds setting the prices of work in different areas. They were not allowed to join together like this to control the prices, so they had to meet in secret.

    Trade Guilds would make new Masons follow a set of rules known as "Charges", which included things like never playing Cards, except for during the 12 days of Christmas. The Church demanded loyalty from these groups, but they held on to the Ancient Mysteries that came before the church.

    Around this time there were 7 Crusades by the Church, and the "Poor Knights of Christ" became "The Knights Templar". Which was a central part of supply of Knights and Mercenaries in Europe. This is the group that worshiped Baphomet, and who Christians claim worship the Devil. This group was forced in to the shadows by the Catholic church after they were tortured and confessed to Heresy, at which point some of them were burned like witches.

    An Important Document to these groups is known as the Regius Poem. It claims that the group started in Ancient Egypt with Euclidean math. But their work can be found on Churches all over Europe before 1400.

    If anyone thinks FreeMasons are a Conspiracy theory, watch this. And now that you know that they exist, understand that they don't run the world, and just because some rappers use their symbols doesn't mean Satan wants to eat you.

    Some suggest that the story was lifted from an Egyptian theme, the idea being that Hiram Abiff = a Pharaoh. I guess that would be Akhenaten, who suffered a somewhat similar fate.

    Natural is 'What happens"

    Praeternatural is "What sometimes happens" (What happens, but can't be explained, for example Dark Matter)

    Supernatural is "What shouldn't happen" (And people insert God's ability here)

    Once something is discovered, it is by definition not supernatural.

    Memory is a Metaphysical Concept. People say "Metaphysical" as if it means "God" or "Magic Crystals"
    But Metaphysics was just the book after Physics, Metaphysics literally means "After Physics" and if you say "I have thoughts" or "I create things" then you believe in Metaphysics. For example, if you raise bees and get Honey from them, that is metaphysics, those bees are "making honey for you", but they don't even know what you are.

    If you believe Microsoft makes Xboxes, you believe in Metaphysics.

    Physics explains how things happen, Metaphysics explains who did it and why or for who and things like that. That is how Metaphysics gets wrapped up in God.

    An example of Metaphysics is "Practice". If you have the same experience over and over, you will have that memory reinforced. Practice can be done in your mind as well, and this concept is now known as "Neuroplasticity". You have probably seen some advertisement for websites with games that "make you smarter". These websites are using Neuroplasticity, so that you can get used to certain patterns.

    I have heard a lot of people say "Eric Garner and Mike Brown should have both just gone to jail". I want to give an example here. I am a Kemetic Hindu, and I practice the Worship of Shiva. I am not alone in this, 13% of the planet worships Shiva (some sects of Hindu and Buddhism).

    IF you are Christian or Atheist, imagine your belief or non-belief became illegal. If you told the Police "It's my religion", they would not care, they would take you to jail.

    When I lived in Texas, I wan taken to jail for my beliefs. Then I got put on probation and I told the probation officer about my religion, and he worked to make sure I kept getting arrested.

    Then I became a registered Minister so that they would stop, but they didn't stop.

    I have never been un-coorperative or yelled at the police, or argued with the police. If anything, I am OVER co-operative because I have religious rights that should be respected, so I let them take me.

    The Police don't care if you are breaking the law. They are trained to think EVERYONE is lying to them, and like everyone could be dangerous.

    The ONLY people that can get a cop to stop and think like a human is a pretty girl, or a lawyer. And the lawyer has to say that they are a lawyer.

    You can also have a book of "Legal Maxims" ready, and know which ones to flip to. Legal Maxims are what dictates any legal interaction, in or out of court. For example, if the Police are given an authority and misuse it, they are "Trespassers in the Law", but for that you also have to be able to tell them what authority they are misusing ex: Not having a warrant. A good book of legal Maxims is "Latin for Lawyers"

    Common Law is how we get Laws from Court cases. 2 Modern Examples are:
    1. The Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare
    2. The Hobby Lobby Supreme Court Case

    When the United State Supreme Court makes a ruling, it becomes "The Law of the Land" for all of the United States. This is common law. The reason it exists is this, for example: If you bring a Wolf to town, and no one has ever had a Wolf as a pet there, people might freak out. So the Police might get called, and they might give you a ticket, which establishes a Court Date. Then you have to go to Court, and argue your case, and whatever the Judge decides is the new Law for Wolf owners in your town. Maybe they say you have to give it a muzzle, maybe they say you can't own it without a license, maybe they say you can't own it at all etc.

    Common Law works on all levels. US Supreme Court makes rules for the Country, State Supreme Courts make rules for the State, a County Judge makes rules for the County, and a City Judge makes rules for the Town.

    A lot of people are unaware that anyone's Religion in America has Freedoms apart from Christianity. In fact, some people don't even believe other religions exist, even religions that are 13% of Earth's population. If you have never heard of "Shiva" he is worshiped by certain groups of Hindus and Certain groups of Buddhists. He is also worshiped in his "pre-Shiva" form, which is "Rudra". So if we get into all of Shiva's forms, it could be more than 13%. But Shiva himself is worshiped by about 13% of the planet.

    American Laws Protect A Few Different Things:

    Smoking Marijuana in Public For Shiva Festivals
    Religious Public Speech is protected by these rulings, which were both MEANT to defend the most extreme of groups, since they both ruled this way in defense of the Ku Klux Klan.

    NO law shall be made to promote or hinder a religion.

    Laws may not be passed that decide how religious doctrine should work

    No one has to prove anything about their religion in court unless they want to
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Ballard

    You do not have to define a supreme being. They specifically note that Texas law does not define a supreme being.

    This ruling says that individuals do not have religious exemption in the context of a job
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_Division_v._Smith

    But religious companies can reject laws they do not agree with according to the Hobby Lobby Ruling.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burwell_v._Hobby_Lobby

    Also, Ayahuasca has been ruled legal for religious use by the supreme court, and it is protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

    The Hobby Lobby Case Is Not Just For Christians

    Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 573 U.S. ___ (2014), is a landmark decision[1][2] by the United States Supreme Court allowing closely held for-profit corporations to be exempt from a law its owners religiously object to if there is a less restrictive means of furthering the law's interest.

    I don't agree with companies not paying for birth control, but I want to point out some stuff that the case opened up (this is not meant as legal advice, unless you are in the Tree of Life School Ministry)

    Let's break this down. any closely held (so non franchise) corporation is exempt from a law its owners religiously object to, if there is a less restrictive mean of furthering the laws interest. Meaning that as long as the law can still be upheld in regular society (the people buy things themselves) then it is fine.

    So as long as the laws interest can be upheld in a "less restrictive way", then the law does not have to be followed within the corporation. So in the example of the Hobby Lobby case they don't pay for the birth control, 100% rejecting the laws on the books and people were forced to go buy there own because this is the "less restrictive way".

    So in the case of something like Marijuana and a Shaivite (worshiper of Shiva), you could ignore the law of Marijuana growing and Possession in your Shiva altar space, but outside of the building people would not be allowed to grow or possess. It would be an American Temple. Business in the front, Religion in the back.

    That new Moses movie is coming out, so I wanted to mention a few things,

    First, Pharaoh did not believe he was God. Pharaoh was not even a person, the Bible got that wrong. "Par'Oh" is not a person, it is the name of the main Palace, and the King lived there with the Apis cow and other symbolic people and animals.

    Moses was supposedly sent down the River in a Reed basket as a Baby, but somehow he still got a Hebrew name even though he was raised by Egyptians. And there is no record of Moses in Egypt. And anyone who thinks Egyptians worship snakes, you are wrong. They thought "Apep" the snake did battle with the Sun during the night, and they would make snakes so they could spit on them.

    Moses made his Altar out of Acacia wood. The Acacia tree is the "Tree of Life" in Egypt.

    Moses made the Tabernacle out of Acacia wood.

    Moses made the Ark of the Covenant out of Acacia wood.

    Historians are pretty sure when Moses talked to God in the Cave, the Burning Bush was a small Acacia tree growing next to a heat vent. Acacia trees has a gas that they release and it protects them from fire, but it could look like it was burning because the gas was burning around it. Acacia would have also given Moses the ability to talk to God, because vaporized Acacia bark produces DMT. Which when stuck in a small cave over a long time, would have made for a crazy experience.

    There is no evidence of Slaves in Egypt. The only things that even come close to evidence are the closest thing that has ever been found that even says anything close to this are the Ipuwer Papyrus and the Elephantine Papyri. The Ipuwer Papyrus talks about plagues and servants leaving, but no slaves, only servants. And that was not even the main part. So, it is more likely that the Bible story was copied from this, since the Bible story was not written down until much later.

    The Elephantine Papyri talks about the Jewish people being part of the Egyptian army, but they actually HAD slaves, they were not slaves there. And they had their own temples and everything.

    And, According to the Bible, Moses killed a slave driver, then his brother talk to him and they basically planned a rebellion. If the story is true at all, it is a story of someone having an identity crisis and their sibling taking advantage of them.

    And according to Jewish tradition, Moses wrote the Old Testament/Pentateuch. So, all of this is as Historically accurate as the story about Hercules splitting Africa and Europe at the Straight of Gibraltar.

    When you think of "Astrology" you probably automatically think of people asking "What's your sign" and talking about how their future will go based on a website. That is not what Astrology is, that is just how it sells. Astrology is how we farm, it is how Calendars were made, and much much more.

    Calendars seem like a normal part of life now, but there was a time when Calendars did not exist. In ancient Egypt they would make fake Horizons and make a mark where the sun came up every day. And by doing this, they made pretty much a perfect year, because the Sun moves across the Horizon throughout the year. And you have probably never thought about it, but a "Month" is actually based on the moon, you could call it a "Moonth". Each month gives us about 1 full moon. Also, Sunday is "Sun Day", Monday is "Moon Day", etc.

    A lot of people think that the Horoscopes are just random star system that people decided "That one looks like a goat" and "That one looks like a lion" and "That one looks like a guy carrying water", then they randomly assigned months to stars. But that is not what happened. Those specific constellations are the specific constellations that the Sun seems to pass though as we go around it.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology

    Before Gravity was discovered they thought the Planets controlled the Ocean. And the reason Jupiter/Zeus has a lightning bolt is because they thought the planet Jupiter controlled lightning. Even the Hebrew people knew about Mars. The Egyptians called Mars "Horus of the Horizon", the Hebrews called it Ma'adim (מאדים) — "the one who blushes". The symbol for Mars is the symbol for "Male" and the symbol for Venus is the symbol for "Female".
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_in_culture

    Astrology is actually a distorted misused form of Ancient Religions. Most of the time Ancient people didn't look to Horoscopes for things like dating or changing jobs, but instead they looked to it for things like farming. Where the could "predict" when to plant their crops, and "predict" when they were going to be able to harvest. We still do this today in the form of "The Old Farmer's Almanac" the Almanac can predict the weather and the planetary alignments and everything.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almanac

    Hindus OPENLY Worship Gods that Correspond with the Planets. If you look up "Hindu Equivalent to Mars" you will find it. If you look up "Hindu Equivalent to Luna" you will find it. The Greeks and Romans had a similar faith, which the Egyptians and Sumerians had first.

    Something that a lot of people don't know about the Ancient Egyptians is that they were really REALLY in to math. They used Fractions for pretty much everything.

    Here is the Eye of Wadjet, which represents all kinds of Fractions.

    A lot of people don't even realize this, but they had games in Ancient Egypt. One of the main people who fist documented Egyptian artifacts was named Flinders Petrie, and one of his jobs was figuring out exactly how the games worked. He also had to identify things like weights that were used on scales. They had certain weights that they would know the weight of, then they would weigh it against Gold or Silver or whatever they were getting paid.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders_Petrie

    The Egyptians learned Math from the Dung Beetle. They called him "Khepri" and worshiped him like a God. Dung Beetles use the Sun and the Stars and the Moon to Navigate, and watching the Dung Beetle draw in the sand is how the Egyptians first mapped the Sky. The Egyptians also pretended that there was a Beetle pushing the Sun through the Sky, this can be seen in the Solar Boat Imagery. The Solar Boat has the Planets and the Sun, and the Beetle, which shows how they saw that the Planets and the Sun were moving, while the stars were not. The Beetle was also similar to how modern people think of Butterflies. The Dung Beetle lays eggs in the Dung Ball, then they hatch and become Larva, then they grow in to beetles. This helped the Egyptians realize that people changes, and civilizations change, and no matter how hard you try, some things will always happen the same way.

    A well known Measuring device in ancient Egypt was the Nileometer. This would flood when the Nile rose, allowing them to measure the exact volume of extra water.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilometer

    Another example is the Sun Temples. Before we had Calendars, you would mark Holidays by creating a Structure that pointed to a spot in the sky. And when the Sun got to that spot, you would know it was that Holiday.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_sun_temple

    The Goddess of Measuring and Record Keeping is Sheshat. She was an important Goddess to the Rope workers (possibly hemp growers), and Ropes were pretty much the most important measuring device in Egypt when it came to building things.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seshat

    Math was used in Religion, Construction, Farming, Trading, and pretty much everything.

    For the most part people are ok on the internet, except for the about 1/10th of people that troll and take up about 50% of the time and internet.
    I don't know what is wrong with these people, but I get a lot of private "You think you're smart don't you". No, I don't. I am SHARING these things with you. Once you read them, you know them too. I am not trying to hold this knowledge over your head or anything.

    And if you are a devout Christian, no matter how Smug you think I am when I talk to you, you literally are willing to tell me you have a book that God wrote and I don't understand. If I sound smug, it's only because I am responding to the world's most UBER smugness.

    Are there any trolls that are not Christian or Atheist? I am pretty sure those 2 groups are producing all the trolls.
