The 12 Cosmic Governors and the 70 Nations: How the Ancient World Was Divided Among the ArchetypesIn ancient Judaism, Christianity, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Hermeticism, one truth quietly echoes across time: the world was once divided under cosmic governors—archetypal spiritual powers associated with the zodiac and the planets. This idea appears clearly in the Dead Sea Scroll version of Deuteronomy 32:8: “When the Most High divided the nations, He set the boundaries of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 563 Views 0 Reviews

Why Are There So Many Naked Ancient Greek Statues?A simple answer could be that the Greeks believed nudity was powerful, ideal, and beautiful. But like so many things from ancient life, there is no easy answer. Greek art—including sculpture, vase paintings, drinking cups, frescoes, and mosaics—is known for depicting nudity, especially male nudes. According to Shelby Brown, senior education specialist at the Getty Villa Museum,...0 Comments 0 Shares 165 Views 0 Reviews

The 13th One: Why One Stands Outside the Zodiac WheelIn every ancient spiritual system, the number 12 appears as a circle: twelve tribes, twelve zodiac signs, twelve gods, twelve gates, twelve stones, twelve months, twelve apostles.

The Real Meaning of the Third Eye: Why Religion Demonized the Eye of the SpiritMany people assume the “third eye” is only an Eastern or New Age idea — but this is far from true.

None of these traditions use the modern phrase “third eye,” but they describe the exact same...0 Comments 0 Shares 585 Views 0 Reviews

The True God, the Holy Spirit, and the Voice That Misled AbrahamWhy Abraham heard two different “voices of God,” why the Holy Spirit did not correct the second voice, why Jesus corrected parts of the Old Testament, and why Deuteronomy 32:8–9 tells us that only one portion (a very small portion) was assigned to YHWH—without implying that YHWH is evil or the devil.
