Warm thanks again go to Alex Tsakiris of the Skeptiko podcast for inviting me back for a third visit to the show, this time to explore questions regarding the figure of Josephus, the Mysteries of Mithras, the burning of Herod's Temple, the scandal and suppression of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the treasure that likely led to the successful seizure of the throne of Empire by Titus Flavius Vespasianus, better known as the Emperor Vespasian.
Welcome to all new visitors finding this site for the first time after hearing this interview! And of course welcome back to returning friends. I hope what you find here will have a positive and beneficial impact in some way.
This wide-ranging conversation between me and Alex was recorded on Friday, 23 April 2021. It includes many visual aids such as artwork and star-charts, and therefore watching the video version is recommended, if at all possible. Here is the link to the video of our discussion, which is also embedded above.
For videos of my previous two conversations with Alex on Skeptiko, you can visit the "podcasts" archive on my website -- or simply follow these two links:
For those wishing to explore the evidence and events from this most-recent conversation more deeply, the books I've written which deal with these topics most directly are The Undying Stars (2016) and Myth and Trauma (2020). You can find details about those two books in the "books" section of my website, along with some sample content.
You can also search through my previous blog posts, which now number well over 1,300 and which are fully searchable. Some previous posts which discuss subject matter that Alex and I touched upon in this latest conversation include:
I appreciate Alex's willingness to roll out the questions that other interviewers often don't go after. We don't agree on every subject, of course, but no two human beings on this planet ever agree on everything, and that should not be a surprise to anyone -- a fact that we should all keep in mind during this period in which manipulators are deliberately working overtime to divide the people from one another using all kinds of hot-button issues and events designed to play on our emotions, stoke tensions, and set men and women against each other in all kinds of different ways.
The history discussed in this interview should cause us all to step back and see that we have far more in common with one another than they want us to believe -- and that these tactics have been used for millennia to keep the people from coming together and putting a stop to the depredations and oppression of the self-styled "elites," who have been waging a war to suppress the ancient wisdom given to all cultures on our earth, ancient wisdom which we need today perhaps more than ever before.
If you think that Josephus and the Dead Sea Scrolls and the takeover of Rome by literalist Christianity (in conjunction with the machinations of the secret society of Mithras) is ancient history -- you might want to reconsider that assumption. I hope that you will pursue the evidence discussed in this podcast, and in my most-recent book, Myth and Trauma, because the evidence overwhelmingly shows that we have been told lies about our past.
Understanding the world-wide system of ancient metaphor -- metaphor based on the stars and heavenly cycles -- which forms the foundation for the sacred traditions of all cultures helps us to see these deceptions for what they are.
The Truth is up there -- and the Truth will prevail.
