Most Christians might be surprised to learn that the concept of Trinity God did not originate with Jesus of Nazareth. My understanding is that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics depict a trinity of gods in play at the time of one’s death. When a person died, he/she had to pass across the Nebal Bridge to get to heaven. That bridge spanned Sheol, the nether world below. The Son patrolled the bridge’s gate that allowed people to attempt crossing into heaven. As people crossed, they encountered the Holy Ghost who determined if they could pass on across to the Father or if he would push them off the bridge into the netherworld below. Those who were allowed to pass encountered the Father at the other end of the bridge and were granted entrance into heaven.
It seems quite obvious then that Christianity borrowed the mythical concepts of Trinity, as well as virgin birth’s, resurrections, and salvation from the many such religions which had evolved around the Mediterranean prior to Jesus’ coming.
Today is the Sunday set aside each year by the Catholic Church to praise and honor Trinity God. It is called Trinity Sunday. In that light, in his homily this morning, I heard a young Roman Catholic priest note that innumerable great thinkers had attempted to define the Trinity but found it to be impossible to do so. Accordingly, the Church had declared it to be a mystery which no mortal could ever define. In that same vein, the young priest did offer a definition of God’s essence which he declared to be ‘love’.
As I listened with amusement, I was struck with the immediate question ‘why?’. Why had the Trinity and God’s essence not been irrevocably defined before? It seems likely that the answer to those questions is twofold. Number one, since Christianity in general, and concepts of Trinity God specifically, stem directly from Ancient Egyptian mythology and astrology, it would be impossible to define either trinity or essence of God using those parameters. Number two, it seems rather obvious to me that an explicit definition of either would instantly invalidate and eliminate any justification for the existence of their possessive, hierarchal religion — a religion which subjected everyone to their whims including the legal extraction of their hard-earned money whilst they lived in luxury and their empires expanded.
On the question of God’s essence which the young priest defined as ‘love’, one would be hard put to observe or hear that word, love, used in a Catholic Church. Seldom do we hear anything but ‘God’s mercy’ — a completely different concept from love. Mercy implies forgiveness of wrongdoing. love is acceptance, choice, will — I ‘will’ to accept and cherish you the way you are, no questions asked.
Through my encounter with Quantum Mechanics (particle physics) I discovered there is a ‘perfect rationality’ in this universe. Not only that, but I discovered there is a ‘perfect truth system’ in this universe outside of which there is no truth. Furthermore, I discovered that perfect rationality and truth system to be embodied exclusively in the perfect particles of energy which constitute the substrate of every atom in existence. Collectively, they are known as quanta and individually as a quantum. The word quantum stems from the Latin quantus (how much).
Indeed, ‘love’ is just one of God’s innumerable attributes, not his essence. For sixty-five years, I pondered the essence of God and continually came up empty-handed. Then one day, I was fortunate to encounter the hidden substrate of God’s existence — the entities which irrevocably label and define God’s essence, quanta.
The attributes of a quantum are these: it is perfect in both form and function; it is unchanging and unchangeable; it cannot be distinguished from its counterparts; it cannot be created nor destroyed by man; it cannot be further subdivided; not one, more or less, is in existence now than at the time of their release at the instant of the ‘Big Bang’ nearly fourteen billion years ago.
So, with that marvelous knowledge, instantly I was not only able, but rather mandated, to define God’s Essence as well as the Trinity— God is a Perfect Rational Being. What a startling discovery! What amazing implications! What stupendous ramifications! Let’s review a few.
- Like the perfect quanta, God the Father is Perfect in both form and function; he is unchanging and unchangeable; his Perfect Intellect is ‘set in stone’ — he cannot be bargained with nor have his perfect mind changed; there is no truth in this universe outside the Perfect Truth system generated by God’s Perfect Intellect and exhibited by his Perfect particles of energy which reflect his perfection perpetually.
- The Reflection of God’s Perfection is registered (visualized) in every gravid object in existence — it is the Son, the second person of Trinity. Nothing could be without God the Father visualizing it and choosing loving, willing it into existence.
- God is all Love which represents the perpetual relationship of Love, Acceptance, Choice, Will, Spirit between the Father and Son, and is, in fact, the Holy Spirit — The Will of God.
- All religions which purport or attempt to appease God or change his Perfect Intellect are invalid and blasphemous — God’s Intellect and Rationality are Perfect and cannot possibly be changed.
- The ideas of the Ancient Egyptians, generated through ignorance, mythology, astrology, superstition, and wild imagination, were passed on to the Israelites as recorded in the Old Testament. Their contortion and embellishment through the façade of Jesus in the New Testament, are obviously invalid.
- God is ‘all Love’. Therefore, he cannot possibly reject himself, who constitutes everything in existence. Therefore, concepts of Hell, Purgatory, Limbo, Indulgences, and prayers of petition are nonsense, and furthermore, if done with deliberate intent of deceit and control, are blasphemous — but strangely, God doesn’t care — his love for all never changes nor ceases.
- God is All Powerful. However, that Power is limited to the Perfect Truth System which God is. It cannot be altered in this universe. If it could be changed, God would no longer be perfect and furthermore, God would no longer exist in eternity, a state of no change (time).
- God is All Knowing. Again, there is no truth in this universe outside the Perfect Truth System which represents Gods Perfect Intellect and Will and is exhibited by all the quanta in existence. Collectively, all quanta represent God exhibited in the physical universe. I am aware of only three people before me to recognize God’s physical presence in all things and all things in God — Jesus of Nazareth, Francis of Assisi, and Meister Eckert, a German Monk. Most likely, there are others who have escaped my attention. Many, many more likely recognized it but withheld that proclamation for fear of reprisal.
- Our only justifiable prayer is this: Thank you dear God for my life, my sustenance, and my eternal existence in you. Any other prayers are superfluous and demonstrate a total lack of understanding of God.
10.Simple observation will demonstrate clearly how all religions in the civilized world have been used for the financial benefit of their perpetrators, as well as the control of the rationality of their subjects. Some may be well-meaning — I suspect most are self-serving just as in Jesus’ time.
11. I have no doubt that Jesus has been sorely misrepresented, misunderstood or both. Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus say he came to die for our sins. He did, however, give us two commands — love your God with your all and love your neighbor as yourself. It was that preaching of ‘A Loving God’ and not a ‘vengeful God’ that got him killed. Jesus’ purpose in his teaching and preaching was to ‘liberate’ us from the terrible persecuting blanket of guilt which Moses had thrown over us for purposes of control, and which later was used by the hierarchy to ludicrously extract our hard-earned money. Jesus wanted us to know that God loves us each completely and perfectly. Jesus wanted us to know that God cannot be hurt or helped. He wanted to convert the thinking of the world from that of ‘a God demanding recompense as appeasement to a God of all-accepting love’. Of course, that thought process would have eliminated the need for High Priests and perfect offerings — certain demise of their money machine. You will note that the Bible is very careful not to explain that because those who wrote the Bible were not about to expose their cunning —they left it up to us to expose their ill intentions if we could. They incited the crowd to demand crucifixion of Jesus with no details of why.
12.The church formed 300 years after Jesus’ death totally ignored his command of ‘love’ and continued to perpetuate the sacrificial religion of appeasement of the Jews. God’s ‘mercy’ must be pleaded for — never his love recognized and accepted — all for power, control, and money. I can see no changed since the day of Jesus’ crucifixion — can you?
I have outlined, expanded, and explored this philosophy thoroughly in my three books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. For your peace of mind and elimination of guilt, I strongly urge you to read and reread them extensively until you grasp their concepts completely.
