The Jehovah Hoax
Part Two
With Archaya S.
Jay Weidner: I want to remind everyone about our great films and videos at www.sacredmysteries.com. You can also read my articles at www.jayweidner.com. We're talking to Acharya S. about her site is www.truthbeknown.com. We're talking about the origins of religion and Christianity and all sorts of good things. Acharya, do you know about this new book that, I believe it's in Hebrew but it's being translated right now. It's called "How the Jews Invented Their History?"
Acharya: I don't know that one, no.
Jay: I haven't read it, but this is a book written by the head of the history department at Tel Aviv University. It's the number one bestseller in Israel, and has been for a year now. It is being translated. This guy proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that there was no Moses, that there was no Solomon, there was no David, that the Jews actually rewrote their history to back?date it because they were so jealous of the Greeks. They back?dated it so it looked like the Jewish God was giving the scoop long before the Greeks. What's interesting about this though is the Jewish god, as you well know, is Yahweh or, translated into Latin or English is, Jove or Jehovah. But Jehovah is Jove which is Jupiter, which is Zeus essentially.
Acharya: That's right, yes.
Jay: So the Jews and the Christians have essentially been worshipping Zeus for 2,000 years. And they talk about us worshipping pagan gods and things. It just cracks me up. I mean, here it is. Their name is Jehovah. I have a church down the street from me called Jehovah Witnesses. They knock on my door and I tell them, "Oh, so you're the witnesses for Zeus." hey don't get it. It's right there in the title of their god. What Zeus essentially did, according to this book, was he fired all the other gods and made himself the only god. Really.
Acharya: Well, that's the kind of what is called he?knows?he?ism, but they kind of shared, in the Olympic pantheon, they kind of shared powers and so forth. But he certainly was the top dog. He had the last word. But you see that they're always bickering amongst themselves, and the Greek gods, the big stories. It reminds me of when I was a kid. I was very fond of reading the stories of Greek myths. They were great. They were colorful. They reflected humanity in its many forms, good or bad. You didn't have to believe in them in this era. They weren't going to get you if you didn't believe in them, which is a little bit different from the Judea of Christian Islamic tradition.
If you don't believe in them right now, if you don't believe in Yahweh, Allah, God, the Old Testament, the nasty guy, then he's going to get you for even hell and even Jesus is going to torture you according to the New Testament and so forth. It never ends. There's always this threatening and jumping on your case.
So, the Greek gods, they're a little bit more playful and they're a little more accepting of the human condition, human nature. But at the same time, I didn't find the explanations of the myths to be all that satisfying. There's a lot of psycho battle. And yes, that's great. It's how teaching us about our inner spirituality and so forth, and our psychological make?up. That's great, and that's very helpful to humanity.
But there's also this whole hidden layer that almost never gets exposed, that is much more interesting to me because it goes beyond human neurosis and psychosis. And there's only so much of that that I can take. It's like watching a soap opera on a loop, endlessly.
But this grandiose cosmic theme that has been recorded in this nest is far more interesting after a certain point. It has to do with how profound is the effect of the sun on the earth, for example; how much we need the solar cycle for life to continue; the affect of the sun's rays in the moon, and having that second night light.
All these wonderful qualities of the sky, both day and night, as well as the earthly factors like the wind and water and so forth, they were all relished as something with meaning. To the point of having divinity bestowed upon them by the human perception.
I rather like that perception because it gives you the feeling of when you're, I always do this as an example because it strikes me constantly, and I still climb mountains and see wonderful views. I climb a mountain and I stood up there, and this magnificent sunset, and the waves of hills in front of me or other mountains, and the sky is a riot of colors and it extends out into the Cosmos for all eternity, for infinity, to plug your newest project.
So you can sit there and experience that, and really understand. That's the meaning that's trying to be conveyed by our most profound spiritual position.
Jay: Yes. I completely agree with that. I think that returning to the sacred earth is probably the real way out of our predicament right now. My name is Jay Weidner. We're going to take a break. We're here with Acharya S. talking about religions and their lack of illumination maybe, even their lack of credibility in some cases. Anyway, I'm Jay Weidner. We'll be right back. Thanks for listening. Make sure you look up that article, "The Shining Shining."
