Godfrey Higgins

They had access to a lot of like the learned men at that time had access to a lot of parts of the world, that had as of then not yet been as westernized and maybe even some of their sacred texts or doctrines hidden away or lost, things of that nature.

So those guys, they would be the ones to go to, guys like the Reverend Robert Taylor or Godfrey Higgins or know any number of them i my bookshelf back there is filled with books by these guys and i think the the text is so tiny in some of these books i think it screwed up my eyes because i i've been wearing glasses for over a year now because my my eyes got trained to just see little things right up close but the uh philology question How do you go about learning that? It's actually simpler than it might seem at first.

There's a few, like I learned a lot of this, got started on this from reading my friend Dylan Sikoshio's books, The Spirit World Books.

And that pointed me to a lot of great other authors that he's referencing and quoting from that era and earlier so that I could start to do my own study.

You know, believe what you want, but you have to install the idea into people that they're broken and that there's some kind of all powerful or second to the most powerful being that is a tempter that encourages them to do bad things.

That way, when they do the bad things, they have someone to blame it on, of course.

Now, this is more just theological, but if we wanted to go further into understanding where the concept of the devil comes from, I think a great jab comes from Godfrey Higgins, actually, who wrote a book called Anacalypsis, one of my favorite books of the sort of comparative mythology, philology realm.

He wrote this in the early 19th century, gigantic book, huge book, so much good stuff in there.

Anacalypsis.

This European man called Godfrey Higgins, he wrote this book called Anacalypsis, where he says, there's nothing about history that the more you read, doesn't get blacker and blacker.

There's been a deliberate ploy to whitewash history, what they call the Aryan model of history.

So you have two forms of history.

Pythagoras was one of the many sages and saviors of antiquity for whom an immaculate conception is asserted.

In his Anacalypsis, Godfrey Higgins writes, The first striking circumstance in which the history of Pythagoras agrees with the history of Jesus is, that they were natives of nearly the same country; the former being born at Sidon, the latter at Bethlehem, both in Syria.

The father of Pythagoras, as well as the father of Jesus, was prophetically informed that his wife should bring forth a son, who should be a benefactor to mankind.

They were both born when their mothers were from home on journeys, Joseph and his wife having gone up to Bethlehem to be taxed, and the father of Pythagoras having traveled from Samos, his residence, to Sidon, about his mercantile concerns.

Thus the intrinsic nature of Saturn is synonymous with that spiritual rock which is the enduring foundation of the solar temple and has its antitype or lower octave in that terrestrial rock the planet Earth which sustains upon its jagged surface the diversified genera of mundane life.

Although its origin is uncertain, litholatry undoubtedly constitutes one of the earliest forms of religious expression.

Throughout all the world, writes Godfrey Higgins, the first object of idolatry seems to have been a plain, unwrought stone, placed in the ground, as an emblem of the generative or procreative powers of nature.
