NEW NEW TESTAMENT (Draft)

EVANGELION OF JOHN

1 ¹ In the beginning was the peace, and the peace is with God, and the peace is God. ² The truth was with God from the beginning. ³ Through truth all things were made; without the truth nothing was created that has been created. ⁴ In truth is God's life, the light of all mankind.

⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it, scattered away hiding from the brightness. ⁶ There was the chaos then the peace, hidden in the silence then revealed by the sound truth of it, from the darkness and into the light came it forth.

⁷ God has separated chaos from peace, mess from order, outer from inner, above from below. ⁸ At the centre of peace God has set the seat of truth, out of which came forth the Holy Spirit of love as the breath of life, going inwards in peace and coming out in truth.

⁹ There was a man sent from God whose name was Issa. ¹⁰ He came as a witness to testify concerning that light as the truth of peace, so that through him all might know and rejoice in it. ¹¹ He himself was the light that came forth as a witness to the truth of peace.

¹² The true light in the Holy Spirit that gives life to all is coming into the world. ¹³ He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him and knew him not. ¹⁴ He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

¹⁵ Yet to all who did receive him, to those who live by his wisdom, he gave the good news that they to become children of God— ¹⁶ children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. ¹⁷ The light of peace became matter and flesh, Conscious are those who see his glory, the glory of the one and only Christ, who came from the Father and Mother, full of grace and love, in truth and peace.

¹⁸ John the Baptist bare witness of him, cried, "This is he of whom I spake, He that cometh bringing light to the world." ¹⁹ Out of his glory all have received his grace and when we have lost our ways, in our repentance and out of his mercy he will forgive our debts restoring us on the righteous path. ²⁰ For the law of one God was recieved, kept, and passed by the sages throughout the ages but grace, truth, and peace cames through Christ.

²¹ No one has seen God at any time for the world with all life therein is in him whilst he is beyond all life and the world. The only begotten son, who is Christ, Consciousness and Will of the Father of truth, has declared Him. ²² This is the record of High Priest Alexander I, of the House of Levi, in case some would care to ask, "Who art thou?"

²³ Well, I confess, and deny not; I am not the Messiah. Far from it. A god of Hell, I am that I am, that maybe, at least according to some, yet others see me as an angel from heaven. ²⁴ “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”

²⁵ The truth is one, the lies are many. The law of one expresses the divine nature, the Gooden Rule, which is to love God as God loves you, to love thy neighbor (those in need) as yourself, for God is one: omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient and nothing but God exists in love, truth, and peace.

²⁶ It is by the wisdom of awaken Christ consciousness that people know the difference between good vs evil, right vs wrong, Heavens vs Hell, true vs false, innocence vs guilt and choose former over later according to God's will not the will of one's ego, never mind pleasing the egos of others. ²⁷ Verily Plato has said, "Good people need no laws to tell them how to act responsibly... and the bad people will find a way around it."

²⁸ "He who would enter the kingdom of wisdom must be born again; he must become as a little child, for he must divest himself of all the preconceived opinions and erroneous ideas that he has acquired in schools or from books. He must go back to the prima materia, the first substance of nature, and recognize in it the divine life that permeates all things. Alchemy is not merely the art of making gold and silver, but it is the art of making man, of purifying him from all that is gross and material and leading him to the perception of divine truth. The true alchemist transmutes not lead into gold, but darkness into light, ignorance into wisdom, and death into immortality." - Paracelsus, The Great Work of Alchemy

²⁹ I am is not God but God is I am. I am, as a sense of self, had to originate somewhere and be originally rooted in some primordial state of the divine being whose self awareness gives rise to the concept of I am as one who is distinct and separate from something and/or someone else that I am is not and/or wants not to be that way any longer which is done by way of change.

³⁰ A permanent lasting change is only possible to attain in life therefore who we become while alive is what we will keep thereafter. ³¹ The change is brought forth from within. "Change your mind and the world will follow." ³² The beginning of change starts with repentance, that is changing one's mind, the mind of God in this case, would it be done suddenly or gradually, it comes to pass as reality unfolds.

³³ The first conception of I am is that of peace, the truth of which is its confirmation, and the love of peace is emotional experience of it, while Christ is Consciousness of peace which is unity of all three: peace, truth of peace, and love of peace.

³⁴ Speaking of which, the original reality is that of Chaos and Peace as the first and the only possible dichotomy to be fathomed and formed as an inverted reflection of itself in such primordial circumstances, if that is indeed the original state out of which the baby Cosmos has emerged.

³⁵ Random change vs change happening in sequence, impulsive motion vs intentional movement, nonsense vs reason, ignorance vs wisdom, deception vs honesty, delusion vs integrity, false vs true, lies vs truth, disturbance vs tranquility, unbalanced vs balanced, evil vs good, terrestrial vs celestial, dead vs alive, hate vs love, finite vs infinite, temporal vs eternal, war vs peace, etc.

³⁶ It is through the recognition of dichotomies that the freedom of choice between the spectrum of options anchored at either side by mutually opposite concepts becomes apparent and integral part in the process of Creation and the experience thereof.

³⁷ One can be described many ways. For the ancient Egyptians at Thebes the creation in the temporal plane of existence, aka Pezjet (Greek Ennead), is an effect of the Creative causes that are based on and powered by the eternal dimension they called Hemnyw (Greek Ogdoad) consisting of the eight primordial dieties who are coupled into four couples: frog headed male dieties and snake headed female ones, representing the first set of dichotomies, albeit not yet manifested as something specific which would require making a choice and someone to make it and to experience the subsequent consequences.

³⁸ Those are: Nun and Nunet as the watery abyss of matter with the space it occupies respectively, Kek and Keket as the darkness of that abyss with yet to be revealed light, the idea of it, therein, then Heh and Hehet as the infinity of that dark abyss with the finite perception of it, and last but not least, Imn and Imnet as a point of fact that the dark infinite abyss is hidden yet the truth of it can be revealed in finite, illuminated spacetime.

³⁹ Thus the eight eternal primal dieties of ancient Egyptians are different adjectives describing the one and same whole cosmic body before it came to be; the abyss that is infinite, enveloped in utter darkness, and is hidden from all who wish to know it. ⁴⁰ An old saying comes to mind, when you stare at the abyss the abyss stares right back at you. Verily it is so indeed. It is what it is.

⁴¹ No one can know it and live to tell the story. It is the light that cometh out of the darkness that comprehends it not, yet it can be said otherwise as described in the Gospel of John 1:5.

⁴² On the second thought, the darkness sure knows about the light, comprehending it or not, as it scatters away from it, hiding behind any one and/or anything, casting the shadows. ⁴³ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy love, truth, and peace they comfort me (based on Psalm 23:4).

⁴⁴ All that mental prep work was happening in God's mind before any creation took place. ⁴⁵ In the beginning God created the end. "It takes two to tango," as in every dichotomy there are three distinct points: the two diametrically opposite ends and the middle where they meet cancelling or merging with each other. ⁴⁶ Thus one is two and two are three as three is in one.

⁴⁷ Therefore the one can only be described through three. The Holy Trinity being the Mother of Peace (circumference, mind), Father of Truth (centre, body), and their agape Love for one another as the Holy Spirit (radius, breath). ⁴⁸ An old proverb states, "the universe has its centre everywhere and its circumference nowhere." True that.

⁴⁹ Another one postulates, "to be one who is is to be not someone else." ⁵⁰ If God could be described by a word or words, never mind being a word himself; ⁵¹ as written in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."

⁵² Well, not really. The phrase, "and the word was God" is a result of the original meaning being lost in translation from Greek, where it actually says that the word was divine not God, which makes more sense.

⁵³ No one in their right mind would come to a court of law and present themselves as a word. ⁵⁴ That would be disastrous in legal terms never mind calling God to be a word. ⁵⁵ Some magic word which if one knows it can yield cosmic powers kinda nonsense.

⁵⁶ I think that the word or words would be at least a verb, such as living, thinking, breathing, loving, Generating-Operating-Destroying, being. ⁵⁷ Good Old Death. However God is not a word nither is the mankind is a word of any kind.

⁵⁸ The etymology of word 'God' in phonetic terms is Godan, one of many names of Odin, Nordic / Viking chief diety of Norse mythology. ⁵⁹ The biblical English translation of the word God comes from Hebrew Elohim, which is plural masculine form and for a good reason.

⁶⁰ The original Hebrew scriptures of ancient Canaanite tribes, whose chief dieties are Father El and Mother Asherah, started with reference to Most High El as Head Father who has created his children, the heavens, and the earth; 'Abarashit bara Elohim et Hashamaim v'et Haaretz", ⁶¹ where Abarashit is the title of Supreme Creator diety El whose first act of creation is his children -- the Elohim -- aka luminaries or the seven planets of antiquity: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Sun, Moon, and Mercury that are visible with the naked eye.

⁶² However, the Yahw/Jehovah's priests, starting from around 9th century BCE and accelerating during post Babylonian exile period, have begun to enforce the henotheistic monotheism of Yahweh, ⁶³ who was originally only a second tier diety as god of weather and war but also as a national/tribal god of Israelites, who, according to some scholars, have brought their god to Judah after the collapse of the Northern kingdom of Israel.

⁶⁴ The consolidation of Yahweh as the one and only Supreme diety started by the priests removing any references to all other gods including the top couple of Phoenician pantheon Most High El and Asherah.

⁶⁵ Thus, instead of Abarashit (head father) as the opening word of the holy Hebrew scriptures, the Jehovah's priests have changed it into Barashit (in the beginning) by simply removing the first letter Aleph, which is also the first letter in the word amet (truth) that is comprised of the first, middle, and last letters of Hebrew alphabet.

⁶⁶ Henceforth their scriptures started with now familiar to many, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth." ⁶⁷ However the third word of the opening sentence 'Elohim' is now translated as 'God', "Barashit bara Elohim et Hashamaim v'et Haaretz."

⁶⁸ That is, 'In the beginning (barashit) created (bara) Elohim (God) ...', which is grammatically, historically, and theologically incorrect.

⁶⁹ If the Elohim have indeed created the Heavens and the earth then the sentence should start with the reference to them, 'Elohim barashit bara ...', not being in the middle of it. ⁷⁰ But that was their choice to erase the head mother and father from their story and history.

⁷¹ God is all, including a word but a word is not God. God is the cause, the word is an effect. The words come from us but are not us. The words that are not backed by the action are cheap, easy to come by and part with, however a word that is calling for action is an action. ⁷² The word is better understood in the context of a sentence and the intentions.

⁷³ Soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky has wrote, my translation from Russian, "The words we have, down to the most important ones, come into habbit, wear off like an old dress. I want to make it shine again the greatest word of all -- party!" ⁷⁴ I personally think that it is the word peace that is the greatest of all words. Without peace one really got nothing.

⁷⁵ The first comes the thought, then the word, then the action. That is well established practice. It should at least be prioritized this way. One doesn't say that 'I am a word' but 'it's my word'. "A word is not a bird, once it got out one can't catch it."

~○~

2 ¹ It starts with God and tappers out into the gross. ² The creation radiates out from God, the Source of pure light, so called Scalar waves, and fundamental sound, spreading into the electromagnetic spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared bands.

³ As that light slows down, it becomes of various densities and frequencies forming physical matter and organic life through the quantum field of probabilities to the collapsing of those future potentials into specific forms manifested at first as the mineral kingdom of basic elementals, elements and compounds, to formation of cells and microbs, to fungi and plant kingdoms, to then animal kingdom, and finally the human kingdom as a capstone of the pyramid of life erected by the pervading through all realms Christ Consciousness of the Source of all existence and the centre of every atom, every being, all forms of life.

⁴ From this centre of permanent constants of peace (physical), truth (mental), and love (spiritual) paradigms that make up the core sense of self the surrounding flow of change in spacetime can thus be percieved, manipulated, and experienced.

EVANGELION OF MATTHEW

So, it is time to rewrite the new testament, it's been a while since the last revision and is way overdue in light of all the controversies still raging to this day. Anyway, the sun entered Aries on 14th of April 2025 CE, so we can start our new gospel with an opening scene of cozy homestead where the wedding is taking place.

LEO

¹ As we walk through the open doors following the music and party sounds, we enter a large brightly lit by candles room where we see the newlyweds; still a virgin Mary baking bread while her equally virgin husband Joseph pours water into cups of their ten family guests, five from each family side, sitted around big round table.

² Each brought a present: a ram, a bull, two gold & silver bracelets, a lapis lazuli & gold scarab ring, gold rod orb & crown, eight bows & arrows, scales, an eagle feather, a goat, & two gold fishes alive in the aquarium.

³ Joseph then goes to the manger where he gets a lam, kills and cooks it, offering a chunk to the fire and the rest to the guests. ⁴ While at the manger Joseph has prepared a pile of hay where he was planning to take Mary later that night to consummate their marriage, amidst all the animals they have received. ⁵ And so it came to pass.

⁶ After the last three guests have left, who came late & were the three wise men from the East with gifts of myrrh, gold, & frankincense, Joseph & Mary have retired for the night in the rustic comfort of the manger. ⁷ A bright star right above them sparkling like a diamond in the light of the second full moon after Summer Solstice. ⁸ Cool moonlight casted warm shadows onto the land enveloped in peaceful darkness of night like with a cozy blanket.

ARIES

⁹ Nine month later, on the first month of Aries, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring equinox, Mary & Joseph gathered again in the manger where she gave birth to their son, who has big head full of hair that glowed with bright light forming a halo around the child whom they called Emmanuel means "God with us" as the angel of the Lord has instructed them in the vision night prior. ¹⁰ And so it came to pass.

¹¹ The Christ was born who is the way, the truth, and the life of the world, in whom God has rejoiced as are his parents who have prayed and praised the Most High for the blessings and honor he has bestowed unto them. ¹² The lightning has struck nearby igniting an old dry bush as God has thundered far and wide all over the land, "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

¹³ Then Joseph took the fattest lamb and made a sacrifice to the Lord God, along with two loafs of bread. ¹⁴ He has named his homestead the House of Bread, Bethlehem, for here he grew his wheat, made his bread, looked after his garden and animals, raised his family whom he loved as much as God, with all his soul and all his heart.

TAURUS

¹⁵ Come the beginning of the second month of Taurus it was time for the planting of three sisters: maze, squash, and beans. ¹⁶ Joseph has got up early before the sunrise, went to the manger where he has attached the yoke onto his oxen and brought them to the field. ¹⁷ He then attached a plow to the yoke of the oxen with a tug pole, yoke irons and iron chains.

¹⁸ After the oxen were fitted with a plow behind them and stationed at the South East corner edge of the field, Joseph went to the far end of it. ¹⁹ While walking he was counting in small steps the distance, each step measuring about one foot and a half in length thus two steps making a yard.

²⁰ That way Joseph has approximated the length of day's plowing which is about one furlong or 220 yards (440 steps, 660 feet). ²¹ After reaching the 440th step at far North East edge of the field he has placed a mark in a shape of a big X to serve as a guide for him with the oxen to follow in order to make the rows straight.

²² It was full day's hard labour for twenty two working days, with sweat and tears et al, when Joseph has finally finished plowing the whole twenty two rows and was ready for planting by Friday evening. ²³ On Monday, after good rest of few days, at the time of sunset and on the new moon of the second month, Joseph has begun planting the maze along with the squash and beans.

²⁴ It took him another six full days to plant the seeds in all 22 rows. ²⁵ And so it came to pass that on the seventh day Joseph rested from all the good works that he has done, finishing on Friday before the sunset and start of Shabbat, or Saturday as it is known, the day of Lord God's repose.

EVANGELION OF MARK

(Intro ¹ to ¹⁴)

ISSA CAESARION

¹⁵ Now, this is the celestial story of Emmanuel and as above so is below here is too his story terrestrial. ¹⁶ In the year 3,054 since start of the Kali Yuga age (47 BCE), in the city of Alexandria, the capital of the ancient Egyptian empire, was born a prince and heir to the thrones of Egyptian and Roman empires called Issa, his Egyptian name that means son of the virgin goddess Isis, as his mother Cleopatra VII, of Macedonian Ptolemaic dynasty established by Alexander the Great, was believed to be the living incarnation of.

¹⁷ While his Roman name is Caesarion, means little Caesar, being first born son of god emperor Julius Caesar, proclaimed so by the Roman Senate. ¹⁸ The ancient world's two most famous royal families of two major empires who have united through marriage, Caesarion being the good news with promise of lasting peace to follow. ¹⁹ Yet, as it often happens, the fate has dealt different destiny of which none could be privy and prepared for.

²⁰ Their story is famous yet shrouded in mystery, myths, and legends. ²¹ The living holy trinity manifested in human form as a royal family; Mother of Peace as Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, Father of Truth as Gaius Julius Caesar, and Holy Spirit of love as Issa Caesarion. ²² Most glorious, victorious, notorious, prestigious bunch the world has ever seen. ²³ Caesar has transformed Roman Republic into an empire ruling the ancient world as a god, first amongst equals.

²⁴ Yet, while the empire prospered keeping masses content not all senators were happy about it. ²⁴ Some of the noble families saw the birth of Issa in distant Alexandria as a threat to their own hopes for the imperial crown. ²⁶ Thus the murmurs of discontent have spread through the Roman elites who have increasingly grew to despise and resent Caesar.

²⁷ Queen Cleopatra has travelled to Rome in 46 BCE with Issa at the age of one year where she stayed in Caesar's villa. ²⁸ Her grand arrival and reception has spread much excitement throughout the capital however the fears of the foreign queen also have spread like a wild fire causing much paranoia and distrust among nobles.

OCTAVIUS

²⁹ A group of senators have approached incognito Gaius Octavius, later renamed Julius Caesar Augustus, who is Caesar's maternal grandnephew and, to the surprise of many, became his adopted son and sole heir; as a result he was named in Caesar's will bequeathing him glorious Caesar's name, to inherit his vast wealth and estate, and the loyalty of his legions. ³⁰ Octavius was taking studies in Apollonia at a time of their visit.

³¹ So they whispered their concerns and fears into Octavian's ears and he listened to them and pondered about what is to become out of it or not, what could he do and do it right before it was too late for him and his lot.

THE CONSPIRACY

³² The three main conspirators in the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar were Cassius, Decimus, and Brutus. ³³ Out of about 900 senators, 60 to 70 were involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Julius Caesar, with some 20 of which are mentioned by name, which include the ringleaders:

³⁴ "Marcus Junius Brutus, former Pompeian, the fifth and last of the assassins to wound Caesar, in the groin

³⁵ Gaius Cassius Longinus, former Pompeian, the second assassin to strike Caesar, in the face

³⁶ Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, former Caesarian, the fourth assassin to land a wound on Caesar (a stab to the thigh)

³⁷ Gaius Trebonius, former Caesarian, did not participate in the attack; kept Mark Antony outside the Theatre of Pompey while Caesar was being stabbed instead.

³⁸ Other conspirators:

• Lucius Tillius Cimber, former Caesarian, the one responsible for setting the stage for the attack

• Publius Servilius Casca Longus, former Caesarian, the one responsible for the first stab, to Caesar's shoulder

• Servius Sulpicius Galba, former Caesarian

• Servilius Casca, former Caesarian, brother of Publius Casca, the third assassin to strike Caesar, and the only one of the assassins to inflict a fatal wound on Caesar (a stab between the ribs)

• Pontius Aquila, former Pompeian
• Quintus Ligarius, former Pompeian
• Lucius Minucius Basilus, former Caesarian
• Gaius Cassius Parmensis
• Caecilius, former Pompeian
• Bucilianus, former Pompeian, brother of Caecilius
• Rubrius Ruga, former Pompeian
• Marcus Spurius, former Pompeian
• Publius Sextius Naso, former Pompeian
• Petronius
• Publius Turullius
• Pacuvius Labeo

• ³⁹ Marcus Tullius Cicero was not a member of the conspiracy and was surprised by it. He later wrote to the conspirator Trebonius that he wished he had been "invited to that superb banquet" and believed that the conspirators should also have killed Mark Antony." Wikipedia: Assassination of Julius Caesar

DECIMUS

⁴⁰ Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus (?27 April 81 BCE – September 43 BCE) was a Roman politician and general, and a close family friend and comrade of Caesar during the Gallic Wars, ⁴¹ commanded the Roman fleet in the war against the Veneti fleet in 56 BCE, which he has cleverly destroyed in the Battle of Morbihan by cutting loose the sails of the enemy ships using sickle-like hooks fitted on long poles, ⁴² then he served against Vercingetorix in 52 BCE, a Gallic king/chieftain of the Arverni tribe who united the Gauls against Rome in a failed revolt, ⁴³ and fought in the Caesar's civil war (49–45 BCE) against Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey) where he was also in charge of the Roman fleet.

⁴⁴ Caesar placed Decimus in charge of the naval blockade around Greek city of Massilia. ⁴⁵ Within one month he has built a new fleet with which he has defeated the Massilian fleet twice, and together with the commander of the siege Gaius Trebonius has secured its capitulation.

⁴⁶ Decimus was descended of old Roman nobility, likely son of the senator Decimus Junius Brutus, who was a consul as were his grandfather and great-grandfather, and his wife Sempronia, likely descended from the ill-fated popular reformer Gaius Gracchus, involved in unsuccessful Catalina plot to forcefully take over the consulship from Cicero and Antonius in November 63 BC.

⁴⁷ Decimus Brutus grew up in the company of Publius Clodius Pulcher, Gaius Scribonius Curio, and Marcus Antonius. ⁴⁸ A Roman patrician Postumius Albinus, of the ancient Roman noble family, has adopted Decimus however he didn't change his name as was customary in such situations preferring to keep his family name instead.

⁴⁹ Julius Caesar has developed affection for Decimus Brutus and on many occasions has expressed his love for him like a son, naming Decimus in his will as an heir in the second degree and designated him as a guardian of any child of Caesar. ⁵⁰ Basically, in Appian's view, Caesar has adopted Decimus.

⁵¹ Decimus has married Paula Valeria in 50 BCE, the sister of Gaius Valerius Triarius, a friend of Cicero who fought against Caesar at Pharsalus alongside with Pompey.

⁵² When Caesar, as dictator of the republic, has returned to Rome after his victory over the Conservative faction in the Battle of Munda (45 BCE), Marcus Brutus has finally joined the group of conspirators plotting against Caesar, after being persuaded by Cassius and Decimus.

CASSIUS

⁵³ Gaius Cassius Longinus, from an ancient Roman family, gens Cassia, was Brutus' brother-in-law and the other major player in the conspiracy, who was putting pressure on him to act, however out of his, as Plutarch points, "personal animosity rather than in any disinterested aversions to tyranny."

⁵⁴ In 54 BCE, Marcus Licinius Crassus has began his eastern campaign against the Parthian Empire which Cassius has joined as quaestor. ⁵⁵ In 53 BCE, Crassus led the Roman army at the Battle of Carrhae in Northern-Mesopotamia which was a complete failure. ⁵⁶ Plutarch notes, Cassius has advised Crassus not to invade Parthia, thus if he had followed it the crushing defeat at Carrhae could have been avoided.

⁵⁷ Cassius has proven to be a competent commander and good leader. His men loved him and trusted his judgement. ⁵⁸ According to Dio, Crassus himself, along with his Roman soldiers, were willing to give the overall command to Cassius after the initial disaster in the battle, which Cassius refused.

⁵⁹ In 51 BCE, Cassius was able to ambush and defeat an invading Parthian army that has besieged Antioch, a major city in Syria, where his legions were stationed. ⁶⁰ In 50 BCE, Cassius returned to Rome when the civil war was about to begin between Julius Caesar and Pompey.

⁶¹ In 49 BCE, Cassius was elected tribune of the plebs and threw his support with the Optimates, while his brother Lucius Cassius supported Caesar. ⁶² After Caesar has crossed the Rubicon, Cassius left Italy and met Pompey in Greece, who has appointed him to command part of his fleet.

⁶³ In 48 BCE, Cassius sailed with his ships to Sicily where he attacked and sunk most of Caesar's navy. ⁶⁴ However with the news of Pompey's defeat at the Battle of Pharsalus, Cassius sailed for the Hellespont, with hopes of allying with the king of Pontus, Pharnaces II, but en route there he was captured by Caesar and forced to surrender.

⁶⁵ Brutus preferred Hellenistic Stoicism, being naturally always calm and emotionally detached, more accurately he is described as an Antiochean Platonist, while Cassius was deeply interested in philosophy as such. ⁶⁶ Cicero mentions his youthful adherence to the Academy (Ad familiares xv.16.3).

⁶⁷ Between 48 and 45 BCE, Cassius has adopted philosophy of Epicurus who was an atomist and materialist, a form of hedonism based on Democritus with the focus on pursuing the greatest pleasure described as the absence of pain and fear, and thus a simple life was preferredby its adherents, which is quite different from other popular notions of hedonism.

⁶⁸ Epicurus' materialism reflected his religious skepticism which he used to argue against superstition and divine intervention. ⁶⁹ Originally arising as a challenge to Platonism, Epicureanism later became main opponent of Stoicism. ⁷⁰ Epicurus advocated the abstinence from all forms of politics yet at Rome his philosophy was popular with many prominent public figures, such as Caesar's father-in-law, Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus.

⁷¹ While Cassius was the main instigator in the plot against Caesar, winning over the would be assassin senators, who is depicted in Dante's Inferno being tormented at the lowest circle of Hell as punishment for his betrayal and murder of Caesar, however it is Brutus who became their leader. ⁷² Some of the anonymous senators, about sixty to seventy who were part of the conspiracy, would approach and say to him: "Thou art asleep, Brutus," or "Thou art not Brutus" (LXII.7).

BRUTUS

⁷³ Marcus Junius Brutus, aka Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus, was a descendant of same Lucius Junius Brutus (died c. 500 BCE) who around five centuries ago was empowered by a decree of the Senate, in popular support of the people, to take measures to exile all the royal family members of the house of Tarquinius. ⁷⁴ Thus he was now seen as the one who was expected to save the Republic from the increasing dictatorship and imperial ambitions of Caesar.

⁷⁵ Brutus involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar was crucial, as Plutarch writes, "men would say that if their cause had been just, then Brutus would not have refused to support it." ⁷⁶ As a child, Brutus' father was executed by Pompey but even that didn't make Brutus to betray the Republic. ⁷⁷ Plutarch wrote, "he ought to put the public good before his private loyalties" (Life of Brutus, IV.1).

⁷⁸ Brutus' mother Servilia, a Roman matron from a noble family, the Servilii Caepiones, was the daughter of Quintus Servilius Caepio and Livia, making her the maternal half-sister of Cato the Younger. ⁷⁹ She married Marcus Junius Brutus, father of Marcus Junius Brutus of the same name.

⁸⁰ More intimately, Servilia had been Caesar's mistress for twenty years, to whom he gave a precious pearl worth six million sesterces, equivalent of about 1,500,000 denarii, (Suetonius, Life of Julius Caesar, L.2); when a Roman legionnaire, for example, was paid only 225 per year. ⁸¹ Then too there was a rumor or two that Caesar might have also seduced Servilia's daughter Junia, Brutus' half-sister who later became Cassius' wife.

⁸² His uncle, Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis aka Cato the Younger, was a leader of the Optimates party (best), the conservative patricians who supported the traditional values of the Republic. ⁸³ Cato had fought against Caesar during the Civil War but after his defeat he was rather to commit suicide than hope for a possible pardon by Caesar.

GLORIOUS CAESAR

⁸⁴ In the civil war with Pompey in 45 BCE, Caesar was victorious and now have consolidated power over the Republic in his hands, as Appian writes,

⁸⁵ "Proclaimed the Father of his Country and chosen dictator for life and consul for ten years, and his person was declared sacred and inviolable. It was decreed that he should transact business on a throne of ivory and gold; that he should himself sacrifice always in triumphal costume; that each year the city should celebrate the days on which he had won his victories; that every five years priests and Vestal virgins should offer up public prayers for his safety; and that the magistrates immediately upon their inauguration should take an oath not to oppose any of Caesar's decrees" (II.106).

⁸⁶ Caesar has trusted Brutus, appointing him as Urban Prefect for a year in 44 BCE, and after the civil war has speared his life. ⁸⁷ However Cassius got very upset with the appointment as praetor urbanus of his junior and brother-in-law Marcus Brutus.

⁸⁸ Caesar thrice rejected a crown in February 44 BCE that was offered by Marcus Antonius before the cheering crowds, however later he has accepted the title of dictator perpetuo, Latin for a lifelong dictator or an undetermined term.

⁸⁹ In 44 BCE, at the Lupercalia festival, an ancient Roman pastoral festival observed annually on February 15 to purify the city, promoting health and fertility, Mark Antony has presented Julius Caesar, who was seated on a gilded throne at the front of the Rostra, the diadem of kingship, which he has promptly and publicly refused.

⁹⁰ As a dictator he already had the absolute power, and many regarded it as an empty gesture. ⁹¹ Appian of Alexandria notes, "the difference it could make to them turned on a mere quibble, since in plain fact 'dictator' is exactly the same as 'king'" (Civil Wars, II.111). ⁹² However a month later, on the Ides of March (Idus Martiae), the would-be king will be dead.

As you have read in the Draft 0 opening of Matthew, I have started the Evangelion with the wedding of Joseph to Marry, which takes place in the Summer so come Spring the Christ is born. I am switching Christmas with Easter stories.

Matthew is a Zodiac / Melothesia narrative, the inner Christ of esoteric aspect of exoteric solar archetype. The Evangelion of John is more metaphysical in scope, which I plan to harmonize with Genesis. Emmanuel aka Christ is metaphor for the sun, Joseph is Aquarius, Mary is Virgo, the ten family members bearing gifts are other signs. That is just rough outline of the structure of the narrative which introduces specifics to the story.

I started to write when sun was in Aries, soon will write next part when it is in Taurus and so on throughout the year. I have decided to introduce two parallel story lines, one celestial as the sun (Emmanuel) travels across the zodiac (Joseph & Mary + family), the other one is terrestrial, Evangelion of Mark, about Caesarion, Cleopatra and Caesar as physical embodiment of the celestial story.

The terrestrial story of Issa will be later merged with the celestial solar narrative, approaching the crucifixion scene in Sagittarius Winter Solstice when the sun dies on the Southern Cross, stays low for three days then start to rise again on the 25th of December, which is currently celebrated as Easter, which makes no bloody sense whatsoever, hence why the NEW NEW TESTAMENT is in order. I am rewriting Genesis too, about bloody time, it is ridiculous what they have done to the original scriptires and theology.

The Yahwehist Prists really did a number on the Old Testament, no wonder the Karaite, Essenes, Carmelim, Arbelim, Ebionim, Nazarene, whatnot have rebelled against the Temple Judaism practicing animal sacrifice, as though the sins can be absolved with the blood of innocent animals never mind humans, which is the practice they have picked up from the pagan rituals against which their own prophets have warned being vehemently against such heresy, as Issa with Nazarenes were also against and rebuked it as a vile abomination.

I was watching the other day a Levi bloody priest, one from my tribe, saying that Christianity has got its ideas about that the sins cannot be absolved by killing the innocent from Judaism and that it is through repentance that forgiveness is attained, right, then wtf the need to sacrifice the animals, killing chickens, escape goats whatever the fuck, and he is part of the same orthodox Temple Judaism which only dreams of the day they can start their bloody sacrifices again, to redeem the braking of their millions of laws nobody even knows or really cares.

Now, this is only Draft 0 stage in writing of the Evangelion. Am mapping the story plot, characters, narratives etc. Rough sketches.

Trying to fix the mess the best I can. I wasn't around when Issa had his ministry going, got here too late but as soon as I could, I am pretty busy in Hell as you can imagine, however better later than never. Because of it the priests at that time had to do their best without me.

But now am here so we can write new evangelions, rewrite and edit old ones, do whatever changes that need to be done, cutting off all the nonsense and outdated material whatnot. If you got any ideas on the new scriptures please feel free to contribute, I am open to suggestions.

Obviously the main focus is on peace, the truth of peace, and the love of peace. It's all about peace. The Evangelion of Peace. Pax Mundi. That's my focus. Anything else is optional. Yah this Yah that, not convincing, it has to be rooted in something first to be the Yah of, peace.

Exodus 15:3 states, "The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name". That may be so, however what are Yah fighting for other than peace yee Lord God of War. Obviously war is a condition of peace, the lack thereof hence why the fighting ensues; to establish truth, love, and peace.

BIBLE -- LOVE IT OR HATE IT

My view about the bible is opposite to that of Dan McClellan. While he loves it, I hate it. It's the worst library of books ever written, a verbal diarrhea of intellectually and spiritually challenged egos who have either corrupted the original folklore or spewed utter nonsense.

I have found myself forced to learn the bible out of necessity, noblesse oblige, because the whole Western society seems to have gone haywire with it, the whole legal system is based on it no less, that is why they make you to swear on the bible in the court of law, contrary to what the bible says.

As for the abortion issue and when the soul enters body, according to Tibetan Buddhism life begins at conception and the soul enters the body on the 26th day of pregnancy, thus the soul can choose its future parants. I define the soul as part of the Source which is triune unity of peace, truth, & love at the core of a living being and that part of being who is the decisionmaker.

NEW GOSPEL OF JOHN / GENESIS

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was Fuck. The voice of God thundered throughout the darkness of abyss, "Fuck, I think I have dropped something. I can't see anything in this place." God has pointed his finger up saying, "Let there be light."

And there was light, and God looked at the light and saw that it's good. God looked around seeing nothing then he looked down and saw the dirt mound, exclaiming, "Oh, shit! Where did this come from?" Curious, God has extended his index finger poking at the mound and out of it, lo and behold, came forth a mankind, male and female created he them. God looked at the pile of dirt & the man who has crawled out of it not knowing what to make of it, he then shrugged and called the dirt earth & the bipedal creature he named Adam for he was covered in red clay.
