The purpose of this book is to explain the seminal relationship between Astronomy, Myth and Modern Religion. The book shows that ancient Myth/Religion was, in fact, a written record of the celestial movements within the Cosmos under the Type of Mythical Deities

The Bible is a Registry of Astronomical Phenomena written in a Mythological Format. The mythical tales of the bible fit into the same category as those of ancient Rome or Greece. The bible was composed to reflect two levels of thought – the Exoteric and the Esoteric. The Exoteric is pure fantasy at it’s Literal Level. It is a Code that shrouds the Esoteric Level that is directed to the Initiated. This Book interprets that Code.

From the Author

Religion exists at two Levels – the Exoteric and the Esoteric. To put it bluntly, the exoteric level is meant for the profane. The exoteric literal level of religious philosophy is pure idiocy. To think that the fantastic Tales of demons and multi-headed monsters and miraculous events of every stripe, such as making the sun stand still, dividing the Red Sea, destroying the world by flood and all the other related nonsense is accepted without hesitation, on the basis of Faith, is astonishing. Nevertheless, it is so.

The Esoteric Level of religion is a Science that is mathematical, coherent, logical and provable. But this science of Truth is veiled by the masque of mythology. Some are repulsed by this masque and unfortunately turn away and denounce all concepts that support the possible existence of a Creator God Force. The great majority accepts the myth at face value – believe it or not. But fortunately, there are some that choose the path of Investigation, of which you and I are a part.

Within this vast incomprehensible universe, this planet indeed this solar system is no more than one grain of sand on one beach amongst trillions of other grains amongst trillions of other beaches. This is astronomical fact, not hyperbole – ask any astronomer whether the forgoing statement is true or not and they might say that I have overstated our significance within the universe. Nevertheless, we have the gall to take our Tribal gods that over time have been elevated to National gods and Regional gods (because of the political, financial, and military advances of their adherents) and appoint these fabled deities as the creators and sustainers of all that exist. How ridiculous this is!

Within the bible the biblical Editors give the name of god as “I Am”, which is the short form. The fuller expression was “I Am Becoming” (Evolving). I suggest that this is the best of names that any deity or person could possess.
