The Winter Solstice and the Cult of Sol Invictus

ethompson Resonance and reality 28 1

 

 

The Sun is Life

 

Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if the sun went dark? If the energy source, the fire principle of this dimension was suddenly cut off…. everything would wither away and die. Earth would become a lifeless, frozen desert.

Humanity is connected to the Sun by the little sun, the energizer bunny called the solar plexus. The plasma dynamo that keeps us pliable and warm. When the electromagnetic plasma juice runs out, we become cold, stiff and dead.

This is a fire dimension and all living things are children of the Sun and totally dependent upon its radiant light for life. The Sun is Flammus Luciferis – the light bringer.

From the beginning

Since the primal scream and the dawn of the first day, man has watched, prayed and sacrificed to the sun – the flaming orb of many names but only one devotion: Flammas Luciferus to the Catholic Church, Mithra in Persia, Ra in Egypt, Sol in Italy,  Wi of the Lakota,  Shamash in Mesopotamia, Amaterasu in Shinto, Aryaman to the Hindu, Helios to the Greeks, and Bel of the Celts, to name just a few.

The Dying Sun

The Winter Solstice is here, the shortest day of the year. An auspicious time marking the death of the sun god and his triumphant resurrection: Sol Invictus the unconquered sun.

The Cult of Sol Invictus: God of the “unconquered sun.”

In the third century A.D, Aurelian the Roman Emperor instituted the cult of “Sol Invictus” the unconquered sun and the Roman Empire began their official recognition of sun worship.

Later in 307 A.D the Emperor Diocletian, who was a sun worshipper wanted to crush the continuing growth of Christianity and ordered the destruction of all churches and Christian texts. Diocletian was followed by the Emperor Constantine who took the title Pontifus Maximus the high priest… of the Sun. His coins were inscribed with the words Sol Invicto Comiti – committed to the Invincible Sun.  In 325A.D, Constantine called the council of Nicea to decide what was to be written in the new scriptures…. the re-written bible. And, as a result, pagan sun worship was integrated with the worship of true Source Creator, and called Catholicism.

In 46 BC, when the Roman ‘Julian Calendar’ was adopted, December 24th was the shortest day of the year. Therefore, December 25th was the first annual day that daylight began to increase.  The sun priests  marked the occasion and called it Sol Invictus the Unconquered Sun.

The Roman Catholic Church chose the 25th December for the date of Jesus birth in order to Christianise their pagan sun worshipping rituals.                                          The December 25th ‘Birth Date’ was retained for all pagan Sun gods by the Roman Saturnalia and Sol Invictus traditions. Horus, Krishna, Zarathustra, Mithra, Dionysus, Thammuz, Hermes, Hercules, Adonis and Jesus were all born of virgins on Dec 25th.

Setting the control religion

By the fourth century A.D, Western Christian churches settled on celebrating Christmas – the birth of the Sun on December 25, which allowed them to incorporate the holiday with Saturnalia and other popular pagan midwinter traditions which are now called the “Twelve Days of Christmas.”

Saturnalia, held in mid-December, is an ancient Roman pagan festival honoring the agricultural god Saturn. Saturnalia celebrations are the source of many of the traditions we now associate with Christmas. The idea of bringing the evergreen into the house (Christmas tree) represents fertility and new life in the darkness of winter.  Wax taper candles called  cerei were common gifts during Saturnalia, to signify light returning after the solstice. Small terracotta figurines known as signillaria  were also given as gifts symbolising older celebrations involving human sacrifice.

The scam

Through deliberate manipulation by the Roman Empire and the Catholic church, sun worship usurped the teachings of Jesus and became legitimized Christianity. Communion or Eucharist is nothing more than symbolic cannibalism of Christ’s body and symbolic drinking of His blood.

Think of the millions of people praying to god at this time of the year…who are they praying to?

The Winter Solstice

Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, A frosty, fiery sleepy-head; Blinks but an hour or two; and then, A blood-red orange, sets again. Robert Louis Stevenson

 

 

The in-breath

According to esoteric tradition, the Earth breathes once a year: the in-breath takes place over the four days of the Winter Solstice-Dec 19-22nd, and the out-breath at the Summer Solstice-June 19-22. The breaths are like the beating heart of our reality.

Guarding our thinking

At the Winter Solstice, the thoughts that occupy our minds, and our emotional states are breathed into the mirror world. If we are in a state of fear and disharmony, the energy taken in by the breath will be enhanced, and like a boomerang will return through the mirror at the Summer Solstice as negative events in our lives.

So, in the coming four days let’s try and avoid toxic people, refrain from gossip and negative reality. Let us enjoy life, laugh, be with friends and surround ourselves with beauty.

As it stands Christmas has no spiritual meaning for Christians. It is nothing but a great sucking sound and consumerism at its worst.

Stay strong in the spirit of the unconquered sun and may true Source Creator bless us.

Until next time tread softly on the earth.

    It’s good to remember that sun worship can be demonic or angelic. In line with duality there are two suns…the yellow sun and its opposite polarity the blue sun or spiritual sun.
    I pray to the spiritual sun – the master of all Truth.
    Much love 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

    Tread gently on the earth
    a song by Carolyn Hillyer (tune on YouTube)

    Drum your footsteps to the sacred mountain
    Lay down on the bleeding earth and sigh
    Breath the rhythm of the Mother sleeping
    Listen to Her dream, She whispers: Come alive!
    Tread gently on the earth
    Breathe gently of the air
    Lie gently in the water
    Touch gently to the fire.
    She bears the scars of our fears and our follies
    The dark night hovers and the world sits blind
    But the waters flow and the moon is singing
    Daughter winds are gathering and hope is high.
    Tread gently on the earth
    Breathe gently of the air
    Lie gently in the water
    Touch gently to the fire.
    You were born of Her, She gave you being
    She healed your body and brought your soul fire
    As the Mother wakes we must awaken with Her
    We will fade away if we let Her die.
    Tread gently on the earth
    Breathe gently of the air
    Lie gently in the water
    Touch gently to the fire.

    It is often forgotten that the Earth is nailed down by the solar phalluses or diamond phurbas. They are often made of iron, anathema to true earthen spirit, and links the sun with Mars. In some esoteric traditions Jesus is crucified within the Sun and feeding his lifeblood to keep this construct running. This is more likely a reversal, as it is the Earth blood that is being continuously drained, primarily through oil extraction (oh, all you car drivers?!). As much as this may be offensive to many, Azazel is Jesus is the Sun – Helios being His entombment. We are already in the Underworld, many of us being the Fallen, yet refusing to acknowledge and instead creating some fluffy bunny spiritual destiny instead. There is an Atonement to make, and we are all culpable, regardless of our protestations of innocence.

          It is difficult, my love. A continual battle with taints and poisons accepted. As you know, I swing between poles far apart, always attempting to find the Middle Way. I do like the sayings of Lao Tzu, I like the wild man of the woods. There is no point playing with icing when the cake is rotten. I know I am acerbic, and often unfair with good people, but it is just frustration at my own inability to deal with this entrapment. If only I could remember everything, but that is not the issue, is it? 💖

    Lovely, Elva. Chanukah, the Festival of Light, is also celebrated at this time of year, and this year Christmas (truly Mithrasmas, because Pisces Jesus was assigned Mithras’s birthday to incorporate yet another cult) is contained within Chanukah. It’s all about the light, light, light.

    I wish love, health, peace, grace, abundance, prosperity, integrity, laughter, tears, friendship, courage, compassion, creativity, community, and joy to all who visit here. Healing light surrounds you.

    Alas, Elva, I don’t buy from Amazon. It’s about the way they treat their work force.

    Nicely written Elva.

    I always tell my kids an others I come into contact with that every thought is a creation and what you manifest will come back to you. Guarding our thoughts is should always be in place.

    I am in contact with dozens of different people everyday and enjoy it. The positive people I encounter is my reward. Their energies help to bolster my energies. When I encounter negative people I give them an encouraging word and healing energies and move on. That’s the main reason I am here now.

    Everyone has a purpose in this life – even if it’s just to be an observer – be Positive. What we create no sets the tone for the rest of your year.

    I was right, 3 come along all at once.
    Ummm it isn’t about the future, Mick, there isn’t any. Maybe we have loadsa other lives going simultaneouslike. It’s not my fault if nobody understands TIME. This is IT pro tempore, so we better improve it. Anything you can do is being and will be paradoxically greatly and gratefully appreciated.

    This was written by Alex Robinson in 2008 on her then blog Too Long in this Place:

    “What happens to the intense energy created by hideous suffering & death – where does it go?
    Does it stay with us, locked into DNA or does it become part of the ‘collective unconscious’ or is it trapped in the aether?
    Does this energy need recognition & transformation?
    What if this present time is not about ascension or moving onward or upward to the 4th, 5th or 600th dimension. What if it’s power lies in the potential for healing that makes moving anywhere else unnecessary. Perhaps what we are trying to escape from is simply our own wounding & wounded. Perhaps healing is what we came here to do. Could it be that the multitude of diseases we are seeing throughout the world are stories & the more we refuse to listen the more insistent the story tellers become because that is our way home.

    I mentioned these ideas to my son & we talked of cancer, one of today’s most prominent diseases. He suggested that it could be a re-enactment of the plague, because he felt there was a similarity in the percentage of people affected. When the ‘c’ word is mentioned it is often related to ‘lumps.’
    rom wiki: The total number of deaths worldwide is estimated at 75 million people, approximately 25–50 million of which occurred in Europe . The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe’s population It may have reduced the world’s population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.

    The plague is thought to have returned every generation with varying virulence and mortalities until the 1700s. During this period, more than 100 plague epidemics swept across Europe.”

    Where did the emotions generated by this awful suffering go? Does the energy just disappear because people die? Or is it here with us today seeking to be transformed by us instead of being locked into a vicious cycle of destruction?

    Are our memories resurfacing? Is there a thinning in the veil between past & present? Is it possible that our bodies & their emotional stories are seeking to be heard? If this were so it could be a good reason why the PTB are creating such havoc – daily churning our already chaotic emotions to drown out that which we need to see & feel & hear. This could also explain the constant onslaught against our bodies in the form of poisonous foods, vaccinations, pollution while our minds are programmed & overloaded.”

    As you have all beautifully said, create the transformation now, who knows how far the ripples may spread from that one cast stone. The mind may suffer the poison, but the Heart is always True 😉

      Thank you for a very pertinent and inspirational comment.
      As I see it, the problem of this construct is Duality. I don’t see there can be any improvement in this world because of our two natures – kind and not kind. The love/hate conflict which creates the game of opposites.
      Where does all the pain and suffering energy go…why, it’s food for the parasites that created this emotional world of extremes: The Loosh Rote.
      There is some evidence to suggest that cosmic rays could be an environmental agent changing the DNA of microorganisms to re-introduce certain diseases cyclically. Source:https://physicsworld.com/a/cosmic-rays-linked-to-increased-mortality. see my article The Quickening of the Spirit.

        The loosh rote, indeed. First conceived by Robert Monroe, I believe, and then expanded on by Bronte Baxter, Matthew Delooze and Alex Robinson, non of whom are currently extant on the web, at least not presently writing. There is only so much that can be said, the rest must be acted upon.

      To add…. we create our own suffering by faulty thinking and actions…so really we can only look to ourselves when negative reality happens to us. There are no accidents only payment of energetic debt.

    Now, just a thought, my lovely sun worshippers. Consider we are in the Underworld, encased in crystal, diamond if you like, held within an Abyss. The air we breath is alive, elektron, fluid and full of motion, intelligence. The amber solar rays weave and weft through the air, creating our physical reality, in conjunction with our airy thoughts. The Prince of the Power of Air holds the key, or dominion since he has been given that by the Grantor Of Dominion, though he is crucified within a lake of fire. Lion headed and serpent bodied, a mix of helium and hydrogen, he is the centre of quite an amazing construct, awesome one might say. To leave, one must open a Door, and to open that Door one must find the Key, which has been misplaced somewhere……oh, where did I put it?…..if only I could remember, lol.

      Thank you Ariel, most leonine friend. Now why would a little light like the sun claim so much provenance when it has no power in and of itself?

      Into this wild abyss,
      The womb of nature and perhaps her grave,
      Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,
      But all these in their pregnant causes mixed
      Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,
      Unless the almighty maker them ordain
      His dark materials to create more worlds,
      Into this wild abyss the wary fiend
      Stood on the brink of hell and looked a while,
      Pondering his voyage …

    This is cherry picking from a Maori’s poem, much like cherry picking from the Bible really, and applying one’s own daemon’s interpretations. Most sensible people consider it relates to atomic energy, but that is another conceit, mere wishful thinking of total destructive power from those who have none. This particular construct is built upon so-called celestial powers, the sun, moon and stars, the angelic dominions, the bringers of many mansions. Yet originally, they were neither needed nor wanted. So what gave, and still gives, true light?

    Your former shagginess shall not be
    wreathed with the delightful flight
    of birds nor shield
    nor cool the ardour of unheeding
    lovers from the monstrous sun.

    Tree let your naked arms fall
    nor extend vain entreaties to the radiant ball.
    This is no gallant monsoon’s flash,
    no dashing trade wind’s blast.
    The fading green of your magic
    emanations shall not make pure again
    these polluted skies . . . for this
    is no ordinary sun.

    As for heroes, those Sons of the Sun, those gibborom, rephaim and nefilim, as exemplified by such as Gilgamesh and Herakles, one third man/two thirds god, they who rave, full of light, airy and with the yearning to rise higher, higher than the present sun even, to create a new playground.

    I am the daughter of Fortitude, and ravished every hour from my youth, for behold, I am understanding & science dwelleth in me: & the heavens oppress me, They cover and desire me with infinite appetite few or none that are earthly have embraced me for I am shadowed with the circle of the son: and covered with the morning clouds: My feet are swifter than the winds, & my hands are sweeter than the morning dew.

    “As it stands Christmas has no spiritual meaning for Christians. It is nothing but a great sucking sound and consumerism at its worst.”
    Brilliantly insightful as always.
