is a particular term which actually means

a dealing with intuition.

In the theistic tradition

there is a notion of clinging into a word.

A certain act is regarded as

displeasing to our divine principles.

A certain act is regarded as pleasing for the divine whatever.

In the tradition of non-theism, however

it is very direct

that the case history is not particularly important.

What is actually important is here and now.

Now is definitely now.

We try to experience what is available there, on the spot.

There's no point in thinking that a past did exist

that we could have now.

This is now.

This very moment.

Nothing mystical, just now, very simple, straight forward.

And from that nowness, however

arises a sense of intelligence, always

that you are constantly interacting with reality

one by one, spot by spot, constantly.

We actually experience fantastic precision, always.

But we are threatened by the now

so we jump to the past or the future.

Paying attention to the materials that exist in our life

all these choices take place all the time

but none of them are regarded as bad or good per se.

Everything we experience are unconditional experience.

They don't come along with a label by saying

"This is regarded as bad" or "This is good".

We experience them but we don't actually pay heed to them properly.

We don't actually regard that as we are going somewhere.

We regard that as a hassle

waiting to be dead.

[Echoed: waiting to be dead]

That's a problem. And that is not trusting the nowness properly

that what is actually experienced now

possesses a lot of powerful things.

It is so powerful

that we can't face it.

Therefore, we have to borrow from the past, invite the future, all the time

and maybe that's why we seek religion.

Maybe that's why we march in the street.

Maybe that's why we complain to society.

Maybe that's why we vote for the presidents.

It is quite ironical and very funny, indeed.

ZEITGEIST

(J. Maxwell) The more you begin to investigate

what we think we understand, where we came from

what we think we're doing

the more you begin to see we've been lied to.

We've been lied to by every institution. What makes you think

for one minute, that the religious institution

is the only one that's never been touched?

The religious institutions of this world are at the bottom of the dirt.

The religious institutions in this world are put there

by the same people who gave you your government, your corrupt education

who set up your international banking cartels.

We have been misled away from the true and divine presence

in the universe that men have called God.

I don't know what God is but I know what He isn't.

And unless and until you are prepared to look at the whole truth

wherever it may go, whoever it may lead to

the more you educate yourself, the more you understand

where things come from, the more obvious things become

and you begin to see lies everywhere. You have to know the truth

and seek the truth and the truth will set you free.

They must find it difficult...

Those who have taken authority as the truth

rather than truth as the authority.

G. Massey, Egyptologist

(G. Carlin) Because I have to tell you the truth, folks.

When it comes to bullshit

big time, major league bullshit

you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises

and exaggerated claims: religion!

Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people

that there's an invisible man living in the sky

who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.

And the invisible man has a special list of ten things

he does not want you to do.

And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place

full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish

where He will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke

and scream and cry forever and ever until the end of time!

But He loves you.

[Laughter and applause]

He loves you.

He loves you and He needs money!

He always needs money!

He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise;

somehow, just can't handle money!

Religion takes in billions of dollars

they pay no taxes and they always need a little more.

Now, you talk about a good bullshit story.

Holy shit!

PART I:

The Greatest Story Ever Told

(P. Joseph) This is the sun.

As far back as 10,000 BC

history is abundant with carvings and writings reflecting people's respect

and adoration for this object.

And it is simple to understand why, as every morning

the sun would rise, bringing vision, warmth and security

saving man from the cold, blind, predator-filled darkness of night.

Without it, the cultures understood, the crops would not grow

and life on the planet would not survive.

These realities made the sun the most adored object of all time.

Likewise, they were also very aware of the stars.

The tracking of the stars allowed them to recognize and anticipate events

which occurred over long periods of time

such as eclipses and full moons.

They in turn cataloged celestial groups

into what we know today as constellations.

This is the cross of the Zodiac

one of the oldest conceptual images in human history.

It reflects the sun as it figuratively passes

through the 12 major constellations over the course of a year.

It also reflects the 12 months of the year, the four seasons

and the solstices and equinoxes.

The term Zodiac relates to the fact that constellations

were anthropomorphized or personified as figures or animals.

In other words, the early civilizations did not just follow the sun and stars

they personified them with elaborate myths

involving their movements and relationships.

The sun, with its life-giving and saving qualities

was personified as a representative of the unseen creator or God.

God's Sun: the Light of the world, the Savior of human kind.

Likewise, the 12 constellations represented places of travel for God's Sun

and were identified by names, usually representing elements of nature

that happened during that period of time.

For example, Aquarius the water bearer, who brings the spring rains.

This is Horus. He is the Sun God of Egypt of around 3000 BC.

He is the sun, anthropomorphized and his life

is a series of allegorical myths involving the sun's movement in the sky.

From the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt

we know much about this solar messiah.

For instance, Horus, being the sun or the light

had an enemy known as Set who was the personification

of the darkness or night

and metaphorically speaking, every morning

Horus would win the battle against Set, while in the evening

Set would conquer Horus and send him into the underworld.

It is important to note that 'dark vs. light' or 'good vs. evil'

is one of the most ubiquitous mythological dualities ever known

and is still expressed on many levels to this day.

Broadly speaking, the story of Horus is as follows:

Horus was born on December 25th of the Virgin Isis - Mary

His birth was accompanied by a star in the east

and upon his birth he was adored by three kings.

At the age of 12, he was a prodigal child teacher.

At the age of 30 he was baptized by a figure known as Anup

and thus began his ministry. Horus had 12 disciples he traveled about with

performing miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water.

Horus was known by many gestural names such as The Truth

The Light, God's Anointed Son, The Good Shepherd

The Lamb of God and many others.

After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was crucified

buried for 3 days and thus, resurrected.

These attributes of Horus, whether original or not

seem to permeate in many cultures of the world for many other gods

are found to have the same general mythological structure.

Attis of Phrygia, born of the Virgin Nana on December 25th

crucified, placed in a tomb and after three days, was resurrected.

Krishna of India, born of the Virgin Devaki

with a star in the east signaling his coming.

He performed miracles with his disciples and upon his death

was resurrected.

Dionysus of Greece, born of a virgin on December 25th

was a traveling teacher who performed miracles such as turning water into wine.

He was referred to as The King of Kings, God's only begotten son

the Alpha and Omega and many others. Upon his death
