The Mysteries of John the Baptist


Book Description

The search for the real historical person known as John the Baptist and the traditions that began with him • Explores why John the Baptist is so crucially important to the Freemasons, who were originally known as “St. John’s Men” • Reveals how John and Jesus were equal partners and shared a common spiritual vision to rebuild Israel and overcome corruption in the Temple of Jerusalem • Explains the connections between John as lord of the summer solstice, his mysterious severed head, fertility rites, and ancient Jewish harvest festivals Few Freemasons today understand why the most significant date in the Masonic calendar is June 24th--the Feast of the Birth of St. John the Baptist and the traditional date for appointing Grand Masters. Nor do many of them know that Masons used to be known as “St. John’s Men” or that John the Baptist was fundamental to the original Masonic philosophy of personal transformation. Starting with the mystery of John in Freemasonry, Tobias Churton searches out the historical Baptist through the gospels and ancient histories, unearthing the real story behind the figure lauded by Jesus’s words “no greater man was ever born of woman.” He investigates John’s links with the Essenes and the Gnostics, links that flourish to this day. Exposing how the apostle Paul challenged John’s following, twisting his message and creating the image of John as “merely” a herald of Jesus, the author shows how Paul may have been behind the executions of both John and Jesus and reveals a precise date for the crucifixion and the astonishing meaning of the phrase “the third day.” He examines the significance of John’s severed head to holy knights, such as the Knights Templar, and of Leonardo’s famous painting of John. Churton also explains connections between John, the summer solstice, fertility rites, and ancient Jewish harvest festivals. Revealing John as a courageous, revolutionary figure as vital to the origins of Christianity as his cousin Jesus himself, Churton shows how John and Jesus, as equal partners, launched a covert spiritual operation to overcome corruption in the Temple of Jerusalem, re-initiate Israel, and resurrect Creation.







The Healing God Spell of Saint John


Book Description

THE HEALING GOD SPELL OF SAINT JOHN Essene Therapeutics by the Gnostic Founder of Christianity - THE NEW COMPLETE VERSION By The Founder of The Vitalogical Sciences JOHNNY LOVEWISDOM POPULARIZED BY A 1/8th PORTION OF PROF. EDMOND BORDEAUX SZEKELY'S VERSION OF A SIMILAR VATICAN CODEX PUBLISHED IN 1939. Essene or Therapeutic means the HEALING or Healer s, as well as being the translation of Jesus or Savior, which are all titles or names given to Saint John. GOD SPELL is the original English translation of God Entrancement or God-Rapture now spelled Gospel, hiding the Esoteric Significance, in Christ Consciousness. Perfect Christians are the Gnostics or Saints, while Johanan means the God-Endowed, or Grace of God, referring to the Christ, or Anointed with the Holy Spirit, Gnosis. Our Complete uncensored new English translation of the full John Scroll from a Samaritan original, reveals the true original Spirit of The GNOSTIC FIRST CHRISTIANS OF ST. JOHN, - rejecting the tyranny of both Rome s politics and Jewish Slaughterhouse-Temple worshipers and scriptural doctrines. After the fall of Jerusalem, the great heroes among Essenes became the monastic ideal of Carmelite tradition, but in a Roman Church supporting Roman dogmatism and Imperialism. The Essene Spirit, - rooted in their Buddhist missionary origins from India, - with beliefs in a rigid Vegetarianism, Reincarnation, etc., - were banned by Roman Church Councils, along with Gnostic tenets, holding to the Buddhist, Yoga and Universal Spiritual Oneness, in moral essentials, but with Freedom in theological and metaphysical theories. St. John, the Baptist, - or the Spiritually Anointed Savior Exalted (the Aramaic meaning of Jesus Christ Crucified) with his Disciples, - gave rise to the allegories and wonders in HEALING told of in the Biblic legends, as amply explained in our text. The Gnostic Apostles of John were responsible for writing the N.T. Bible, as we reveal, and thus, a wholly new concept of Primitive Christianity, as it really was, unveils, also vindicated by Gnostic Scrolls. Our illustrations represent an ancient pictographic Paradisian origin of the Cross ( ] ) as a Symbol for Immortal Divine Spirit, and the Tree of Life;- the Symbol of Aramaic: Crucified at Sunrise, O in X used by the Essene Order of Mt. Carmel as their symbol, and at Antioch, the Greek letter X (or Christ), was adopted in naming the Christened, Anointed, with Crucifixion-allegory of John s preaching, baptizing, life, and resurrection. Wise as Serpents, harmless as doves, in the Spirit of Essenes, Gnostics evolved a Mystical Body of Christ in the N.T. Bible. Only Mother Nature and her Angels heal. Secrets told in this new Complete Scripture. Edited and Translated by DR. JOHNNY LOVEWISDOM. Altho this Healing God-Spell (Gospel) has appeared in various apocryphal editions, in mutilated, partial and incomplete forms, issued from the hands of various translators who were cautiously only given parts of the originals and never the complete text for their translations, the present version is published as truthfully as it was transmitted. THIS IS THE FULL, COMPLETE AND AUTHENTIC ENGLISH VERSION PUBLISHED FOR THE FIRST TIME. This is because the very Spirit of Christ watches over these precious originals, due to the doctrine they contain, having such an exalted destiny to accomplish in future cultural advancements, for which it was specially designed. Already at that time it was known that in the 20th Century was precisely the time for publishing this teaching (see Apoc. 20:4-6), when mankind would be prepared to understand, assimilate and, above all, realize its practice in everyday living. Up to that time, the study of the Holy Bible was enough preparation and has made it known that Christ is comparable to a grain of wheat which if not planted remains inert, but as soon as it is planted, it issues forth an abundant harvest of grain identical to the one originally plant
