      Each nation and people has had its own name for that period of the year when the Sun passes through the sign of the Ram. The Egyptians termed it the God Amen-Menthu, the Lamb of Gad, which “taketh away the sins of the world,” Gad being one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

      The sun in the sign of the Ram was looked on by the ancients as the God Aries. The Lamb of the Mysteries of Atys; the Lamb of the Festival of Cybele; the White Lamb of the Trojans; the Redemption of the Lost Sheep; The Golden Fleece of Jason and the Argonauts; the Lord of Hosts. As Aries represents the Vernal or Spring equinox, when the Sun crosses the line from Pisces, the sign of the Fishes, into the sign of the Ram, it is, as Dr. Wakeman Ryno says, “crucified or crossified on the equinoctial line which constitutes the redemption of earth, a saving power; the ice and cold winter disappear, water flows, the buds and blossoms start, and the earth is rejuvenated—the sin of cold winter is taken away.”

      Allocating this with the cerebro-spinal system, with which Aries deals, an outpouring of energy takes place, flowing downward into the form to rebuild and rejuvenate it. This is exactly what occurs in the body of the Grand Man. It was termed “the sign of Baal Gad by the ancients, or Lord of Felicity, because he presided over the happiest and most prosperous time of the year.”

      The word Gad is derived from the Hebrew, and the word sun from the Coptic, according to Dr. Taylor, and both mean the same thing, “God or Gad, being the never-translated name in the ancient Tsabaism, or star-worship of the constellation of the Ram, or Lamb of God, the Rama, the Great, the Elevated,” and thus corresponding to the human head.

      The Greek word Thebes means head. There was an old city by that name, the capital of Ancient Egypt. It was the seat of marvelous learning and the greatest art, and was said to have been destroyed by Alexander. This part of the human anatomy, the cerebrum, is, indeed, the storehouse of man, but it is the super-conscious and not the subconscious, as has been so long erroneously taught.

      By studying the sacred and secret writings of all nations and peoples, one realizes that Easter was not new to the Piscean Age, nor to the supposed dawn of the Christian religion, but belongs to all time and to all peoples, for it signifies both a cosmic and a microcosmic process, literally a renewal of life. An understanding of this fact, constituting, as it does, a logical and wholly natural explanation, is one of the first steps necessary to an entirely new viewpoint of the Bible.

      Realization of this eliminates all controversy which at the present time is becoming more and more pronounced. Bishops and ministers alike are unable to give logical and satisfactory elucidation of the Scriptures, and this has largely constituted the reason so many people remain away from church. Humanity is beginning to think for itself, for this is the age of knowing, not blind belief.

      Thus we find from the foregoing the meaning of the opening month of the year, in man as well as in Nature. We find there is a perfect system of analysis, synthesis and allocation which links up space, time, activity, and mankind, yes, even the most secret part of the body. And, as Dr. Wakeman Ryno says: “What silly trash this would be (quoting from Daniel 7:9) taken exactly as it reads; what a beautiful illustration it becomes when taken as an astronomical allegory of the Sun and Moon in their passage through the constellation of Aries the Ram as the opener of the growing months of the year after the winter; ‘the judgment was set (the equinox—equal) the books were opened’—(the Spring).”

      Let us now consider another science, that particular branch of physiology which is termed embryology. Here we at once find a perfect allocation with Nature’s work in the Spring. The cerebro-spinal system is the first part of the organism developed and from it the whole form materializes. The cerebrum and cord constitute most truly The Tree of Life, for they bear or produce the rest of the body. The cerebro-spinal system has, as ancient Sanskrit writings inform us, “its roots in heaven and its branches in the earth.”

      The cerebrum is man’s potential or embryological heaven, his heave-N, for his work is to perfect this heaved-up place. The letter N is the key to the secret process. In Hebrew it literally means Jesus.

      This statement constitutes the subject matter of another book, God-Man, the Word Made Flesh, soon to be re-published with much additional information. It is, however, impossible to leave earnest searchers for truth without some satisfaction, and for the enlightenment of such the explanation is: Jesus is a germ of life, a psycho-physical germ-cell, just as real, definite and tangible as any other physical germ, although more ethereal and delicate,—the fruit, progeny and product of a chemically perfect, therefore a highly refined and purified body. An imperfect and impure body can not produce or create this perfect thing. As the Bible states, in Job 14:4: “Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.”

      When that little one, that leaven which shall “leaven the whole lump” or body of man, is at last created in the manger (or solar plexus), it follows a path planned for it. It enters the Jordan, and ascends by this River of God to the cerebrum via certain glands. Then, indeed, will N have been added to the brain, which, as the poet Milton has said, “Is its own place and in itself can make a hell of heaven, a heaven of hell.”

      The roots of the Tree of Life are three nerves which ascend from the fructified germ cell. These later on form five, and constitute the outline of the five ventricles of the brain. The optic thalami is the matrix from which the roots branch out and upward, and it is also the center from which springs the spinal cord, that sacred Euphrates (River of God), which goes down to water the earth. From it, buddings form on either side, and thus the right and left sympathetic nerves grow, constituting the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

      Much more can be written on the above subject, but it will be fully considered in the book God-Man, the Word Made Flesh. The above statements serve to prove, however, that astrology and physiology are inseparable, and that in the former we will eventually find every physiological mystery revealed.

      Aries, then, relates to the cerebrum and cord, which constitute the Father, the Most High, the Creator or Progenitor of the body, otherwise God and the River of God. “And a river went out of Eden.” Therefore the head may be termed truly the Fountain-Head of Life. In the New Testament the River Jordan is the same as the Euphrates, and means descender, for the River of God does come down from above, our physiological heaven.

      Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, deals with the creation of man’s body. The first chapter has to do with the formation of the animal cell or lowest form of life, the amœba or germ cell, without which no human or other form is created. It does not refer to the actual animals themselves. In the light of this explanation the second chapter is logical and not contradictory, for the animals (animal cells) are brought together into man. Man’s body is an aggregate of animal cells.

      “There is a spirit in man, and the inspiration (inbreathing) of the Almighty giveth it understanding.” Differentiation between forms in the different kingdoms of Nature depends on breath. The plant breathes and polarizes itself as the plant. The animal breathes, and its breath takes on a certain vibration, thus polarizing it as the animal or negative breath (ani-mal). Breath precipitated into the pituitary gland in Vitamin.

      But the breath of man is polarized as that of a human being, and as he was formed in the likeness and image of God, he possesses something more than the animal. As the rate of vibration of the cells of his body increases in proportion to the result of purification and obedience to God’s laws of right living, he no longer desires, but inspiration takes its place.

      Space can not be given in this chapter to go into detail relative to the discovery I have recently made that the Erotes are the keres of life in man. However, this much must be said: the name given to the upper brain or cerebrum contains the secret of life, for cere is kere in Greek, and it is to the literature and sculpture of that classic race we must turn for indisputable СКАЧАТЬ
