The incessant use of triple-parentheses and all the kneejerk antisemitic language was a little too subtle, at least now we have some real clarification as to the agenda of this forum.

Zoroastrianism (ancient Persia/Iran/Aryan) predates Abrahamic religions.
Jews were basically nomads who got caught in the middle between Cretan and Persian (and Egyptian) empires expanding.
The Cretan empire expanded outward from Greece/Aegean Sea and became known as the Phoenicians. They brought their religion with them which incorporated Moloch, the Minotaur's Maze from Knossos.
The Persian empire also expanded outward at this time. They brought their religion with them which incorporated Sky Father (Deus / Djous / Zeus Pater) and Earth Mother (Anahita).
The cultures crossed mainly in the Lebanon/Levant/Canaan regions. This was where the two cultures mixed together.
The apostles of Jesus are basically prototype messiahs who were canonized (baptized) into a new persona in writing to form the Bible. They did not actually come together as 12 of Jesus' followers all alive at once. It's a metaphor IMO. The Bible was written as an understanding of the melding cultures.
Very interesting take... I too think the stories told in the bible are likely re-tellings of older tales shaped to (at the time) modern sensibilities.
What do you think about the idea that yahweh sabaoth was once the jews god of war? And also what are your thoughts on the gnostic gospels found as part of the nag hammadi discovery? I find the gnostic version the most resonant and reconcilable with reality but I always savor the ideas of others who think for themselves
Yaweh is more difficult for me to unravel, and I have tried many times.
Here are the curious things I found.
Yaweh (YHVH) is called a tetragrammaton, which means a 4-letter word. And then you have the concept of Metatron, which states it is a "lesser God" and "my name is in him". Isn't it curious that you can spell Metatron using the letters from tetragrammaton? My name is in him.
Furthermore, it is obvious that Yaweh (YHVH) can be pronounced a whole lot of different ways:
The partial reason for this is that Hebrew didn't have vowels, the word is literally YHVH but when spoken in common tongue it comes out sounding like "Yaweh" but that's only because of the vowels we have inserted between the consanants.
The last one (He who) I came up with while meditating on this confusing concept.
Say it like a title "He who" does this. "He who" knows all. "He who" is almighty. It is a nameless title. God has no name, only a title. Similar to "I am that I am" or "it is what it is". God is what it is, there's no name, it's more of an understanding of the natural order of the universe, rather than some kind of object or person. So it only has a title. This is of course from a more Gnostic viewpoint.
I am also a fan of GnosticWarrior.com and those style of interpretations. I am almost certain that the story of Jesus is about enlightenment through plant spirits (drugs). The Last Supper was an ayahuasca ceremony. Basically divination, resulting in a supernatural experience. Joseph Campbell explained this with his work on the Heroes' Journey, which Carl Jung expanded on. Look into Soma and Kykeon and it will start to make more sense. Or just consider "communion" involves wine (blood of Christ) and communion bread (flesh of Christ), the bread used to contain psychedelics but religious reform has removed this from the ritual. Christ means anointed (exalted, literally high out of your gourd). If you don't believe me then look up the original recipe for the Jews unleavened bread. They put the grains on top of syrian rue to bleach it. Syrian rue contains Harmala alkaloids which are psychedelic, and when mixed with DMT, create a fantastic spiritual experience. The Jews were known to create their holy Ark out of Acacia, which contains DMT, and in this Ark they stored the holy sacraments of the covenant, including "manna". Hint: it's psychedelics. In this Ark they also stored Aaron's Rod / Staff, which was in fact a grain threshing rod (they beat the grains out of the plants with it). The rod could have been absolutely caked in psychedelic matter. This makes even more sense when you research Saint Peter / Simon Magus. His history talks about how he could bewitch entire towns (with a drug, possibly datura). This was seen as witchcraft, but re-rolled into holiness, as they discovered drugs could be used for healing. So they enacted prohibition and took the drugs for themselves, to use for healing, and claim it's the power of God.
As for Yaweh being a God of War, look into who freed them from captivity? King Cyrus of Babylon.
I have a ton more stuff in my notes which I could dig into if you have specific questions.
Wow we have a lot of overlap, always an encouraging sign if they were independent conclusions by critical thinkers!
As you likely know Christ means anointed one, and as I’m sure you know, part of the mixture of the holy anointing oil is 10 pounds of kannehbosem prepared as a highly concentrated resin or extract (anyone up for prehistoric dabs on my “holy” 8 headed “menorah”/dab rig), which strongly evokes the idea of cannabis sacrament like we see in Rastafari.
We likely (just guessing, given the idea of retelling older tales around modern incarnations) also agree that the Christ consciousness has manifested many times through our time on earth, and may even be an inextricable part of humanity. Your Thoughts on the idea of group souls and the ideas seen in the Ra materials would be excellent I think, if you have any to share.
Likewise, I mention the gnostic ideas to wrap my head around the, to me, inexplicable suffering and evil seen here. The only way I can process it is that the physical reality, by its function of elucidating the paradoxes of duality, has evil ingrained into it, as effectively a “learning tool”. This idea is irreconcilable (to me) with the ideas presented in the mainstream interpretations of the abrahamic faiths, namely that there’s only 1 God and he’s all knowing and all good and has a plan, but he also spent hundreds of thousands of years not interacting with us, then interacting violently, jealously, wrathfully etc only to chill out after having a kid (lol). The idea of the demiurge, Sophia, and the ALL/Pleroma/whatever term you use reconciles this. Thoughts on that line of reasoning?
I updated my comment with more details.
Yep, kanehbosm. It grows in the Levant and around Iran. Mentioned in the Bible. Handling the plants would cause a ton of resin build up on the hands, which could be rolled into a ball of hashish. They way ancient people discovered things was pretty straightforward.
I was researching this stuff for a long while, then found out someone recently published a book on much of my discoveries. Brian Muraresku recently published The Immortality Key. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Here's an interesting bit, per your comment on Rastafari, who are islanders. Indonesia is another island culture. Java is their God. As I said in my previous comment, Java is another word for Yaweh. Did you also know? Coffee is also called Cafe which also means Java. It contains caffeine and may have been the ancient "Ambrosia". Chocolate beans contain Theobromine which means "food of God". The fermentation of the Cacao bean could produce alcohol (spirits). Montezuma consumed considerable amounts.
Interesting you brought that up. I had a great experience with shrooms recently. In it I realized when we have a conversation, it is not a persona to persona act, it is a God to God, soul to soul act, where we are getting to harness and use this shared limitless consciousness to interact with each other, rather than our limited personas. It is One same force we use to interact with ourselves. As Alan Watts said, we are God playing hide and seek.

Are you ready for the climax? If you research Soma you will discover it isn't actually one plant or substance. It is several of them, Soma has "108 names" to be exact. This was found on a stone tablet. Anyhow, this is the same idea as YHVH. The LORD has many names. It is referring to all the divine substances on Earth known by mankind.
YHVH - a 4-letter tetragrammaton.
Soma - a 4-letter word.
Yaweh is Soma. Medicine.
You just helped me figure it all out.
With that said, perhaps Yaweh being the Jews "God of War" is metaphorical in that rampant drug abuse leads to war, or wars are fought over the acquisition of this medicinal, exalted resource. "Drugs are your God" similar to "Money is your God". Just a thought. It makes even more sense when you realize that before we traded money, we traded food. The best food was divine food. Cacao beans were the money of the Aztecs.
I never grew up religious, but you might say I am becoming more religious every day. Not in the institutional sense. But, there is really something to it, which has been almost totally lost. Divination (spirituality) and ritual (religion) for practicing controlled states of consciousness through which one can obtain wisdom. Doing it in this way, with ritual, eliminates craving and debauchery from one's life. IMO Christ consciousness, or just God, is the idea that we aim to do better and be great. Everyone who was raised with a loving mother knows this deep down no matter what, natural morality, knowing right from wrong, good from bad, how to prevent suffering and promote joy. Our mother shows us the way, we just have to stay on the path.
I would like to keep editing and providing more details but for some reason this site causes all my line breaks to disappear and I have to redo them, what a pain!
