Banned from the Bible I

















The Secret Family of Jesus

Professor Robert Beckford explores the forgotten history of the Family of Jesus















Banned From the Bible II

















Banned from the Bible: Secrets of the Apostles

Travel back to the blistering sands of the Holy Land, into the onion-domed chapels of Eastern Orthodox churches and onto the pages of the Koran. Unearth the trail of chapters that were left out of the ultimate version of the Scriptures. Included in the Koran is "The Life of Adam and Eve," a detailed account of the creation story written before Jesus was born. The incestuous account of "The Book of Jubilees" was included in the Orthodox Old Testament and the Dead Sea Scrolls. "The Book of Enoch," an ancient bestseller, relates the story of the man said in Genesis to have walked with God and been assumed directly into heaven. This fascinating collection offers a fresh perspective on the figures at the foundation of faith.

Till Victoria

Matteus 7:1-5

1»Dömen icke, på det att I icke mån bliva dömda; 2 ty med den dom varmed I dömen skolen I bliva dömda, och med det mått som I mäten med skall ock mätas åt eder. 3 Huru kommer det till, att du ser grandet i din broders öga, men icke bliver varse bjälken i ditt eget öga? 4 Eller huru kan du säga till din broder: 'Låt mig taga ut grandet ur ditt öga', du som har en bjälke i ditt eget öga? 5 Du skrymtare, tag först ut bjälken ur ditt eget öga; därefter må du se till, att du kan taga ut grandet ur din broders öga.


Matteus 7:12

Därför, allt vad I viljen att människorna skola göra eder, det skolen I ock göra dem; ty detta är lagen och profeterna.


Lukas 6:31

Såsom I viljen att människorna skola göra mot eder, så skolen I ock göra mot dem.


Romabrevet 13:8

Varen ingen något skyldiga -- utom när det gäller kärlek till varandra; ty den som älskar sin nästa, han har uppfyllt lagen.


Romabrevet 13:10

Kärleken gör intet ont mot nästan; alltså är kärleken lagens uppfyllelse.


Galaterbrevet 5:14

Ty hela lagens uppfyllelse ligger i ett enda budord, nämligen detta: »Du skall älska din nästa såsom dig själv.»


Jakobsbrevet 2:8

Om I, såsom skriften bjuder, fullgören den konungsliga lagen: »Du skall älska din nästa såsom dig själv», då gören I visserligen väl.

Codex Gigas - The Devil's Bible

There is no other manuscript like it. It contains a combination of texts that exist nowhere else. It is a most peculiar, strange, haunting, fascinating, large, bizarre, inexplicable object. And behind it all there's a diabolical driving force. A single, sinister figure. Satan. Dare you scan its pages?

Gāyatrī Veda Mata





Image Hosted by ImageShack.us







Gāyatrī Veda Mata Mantra

Om bhūr bhuvah svah
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayāt




Originally the personification of the mantra, the goddess Gāyatrī is considered the veda mata, the mother of all Vedas and the consort of the God Brahma and also the personification of the all-pervading Parabrahman, the ultimate unchanging reality that lies behind all phenomena. Gayatri Veda Mata is seen by many Hindus to be not just a Goddess, but a portrayal of Brahman himself, in the feminine form. Essentially, the Goddess is seen to combine all the phenomenal attributes of Brahman, including Past, Present and Future as well as the three realms of existence.[citation needed] Goddess Gāyatrī is also worshipped as the Hindu Trimurti combined as one. In Hinduism, there is only one creation who can withstand the brilliance of Aditya and that is Gāyatrī. Some also consider her to be the mother of all Gods and the culmination of Lakshmi, Parvati and Sarasvati.

Gāyatrī is typically portrayed as seated on a red lotus, signifying wealth. She appears in either of these forms:

* Having five heads with the ten eyes looking in the eight directions plus the earth and sky, and ten arms holding all the weapons of Vishnu, symbolizing all her reincarnations.
* Accompanied by a white swan, holding a book to portray knowledge in one hand and a cure in the other, as the goddess of Education.

What I find interesting is the similarity of names between Greek (and hence western) Gaïa, goddes of the earth, and Gāyatrī. Just a thought.

Les Manuscrits de Qumrân

Également connus sous le nom de « Manuscrits de la Mer Morte », les manuscrits de Qumrân sont une série de parchemins et de fragments de papyrus retrouvés, pour une petite partie seulement, dans des jarres disposées dans des grottes se trouvant tout autour du site de Qumrân. La découverte officielle de ces 900 manuscrits a été faite entre 1947 et 1956 dans onze grottes.

Les manuscrits sont généralement attribués, mais sans preuve définitive, à la communauté juive dissidente des Esséniens, un groupe Juif dissident de l'antiquité.

La découverte majeure de Qumrân est le rouleau d'Isaïe A, devenu mondialement célèbre. C'est le plus ancien manuscrit Hébreu complet connu d'un livre biblique : le Livre d'Isaïe. Le texte est écrit en 54 colonnes sur 17 feuilles de cuir cousues ensembles bout à bout, d'une longueur totale d'environ 7,30 m. Il a été confectionné au IIe siècle av. J.-C..

Les manuscrits bibliques hébreux de la Mer Morte sont donc de plus de mille ans antérieurs aux plus anciens textes connus jusqu’alors. Leur intérêt est donc considérable pour la science biblique.

Maurice Béjart, January 1, 1927 - November 22, 2007

Maurice Béjart était un grand ami de mon oncle et ma tante. Je l'ai rencontré chez mon oncle en 1974, à l'époque où il était fraichement converti au Soufisme. Je fus fortement impressionnée par sa personnalité, bien qu'elle irritait beaucoup ma tante.

Repose en paix, Maurice.



Maurice Béjart was a close friend of my uncle and aunt. I met him at my uncle's home in 1974, at the time he had newly converted to Sufism. His personality impressed me enormously, even though it annoyed my aunt to a great degree.

Rest in peace, Maurice.




































Bob Thurman and Deepak Chopra - Buddhism and Vedanta

Received from a dear MySpace friend:

"In contrasting Buddhism and Vedanta (Hindu philosophy), Bob Thurman, a former Buddhist monk and Deepak Chopra find there are more comparisons than differences, and both agree that, more and more, scientists are showing that quantum physics and spirituality (awareness, consciousness, the soul) are the nature of true reality. A must-see."
