Als je oog helder is, is je hele lichaam verlicht - Lucas 11:32
"Historia docuit quantum nos iuvasse illa de Cristo fabula".
Pope Leo X to Cardinal Bembo
Jesus, son of Mary (on whom be peace) said:
"The world is a bridge; pass over it, but build no houses upon it".

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” - Mahatma Gandhi
"Jesus said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside, and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the female one and the same, so that the male be not male, nor the female female... then you will enter the kingdom."
We are guilty of believing that Jesus Christ chose only those of His own race to be his 12 disciples, and that he did not go out and choose two Chinese, two blacks, two Indians, two Arabs, two women or two homosexuals, therefore he would be called a Supremacist, Racist and Bigot by today’s worldly standards.
All of the secret schools today which are classified as initiatic (because the students within them must first be prepared and made ready, and then spiritually and esoterically initiated before receiving the Truth) are associated in one secret organization or federation for the exchange of helpful suggestions and ideas relating to the ways and means not only of perpetuating the secret doctrines which Jesus taught but the manner of selecting the final Disciples and Apostles who shall go forth, not to destroy the faith and religions of the world, but to carry out the great mission for which Jesus was preordained and predestined to become a Son of God incarnate.
- H. Spencer Lewis, "The Secret Doctrines of Jesus", 1937
Tot al degenen die, in orthodoxe oprechtheid, veel van wat dit boek biedt zullen verwerpen, kan ik alleen maar zeggen: "Houd vast aan het goede". Als uw geloof, uw kenns en uw overtuiging omtrent christelijke zaken u voldoen en u hebt geen innerlijke drang om acher de sluier te kijken, doe het dan niet! Sta niets toe uw aanbidding en verering voor hem die uw redder en heer is te verzwakken of te verminderen! - H. Spencer Lewis
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, for he was a performer of wonderful deeds, a teacher of such men as are happy to accept the truth. He won over many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. When Pilate, at the suggestion of the leading men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those who had loved him at the first did not forsake him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct to this day. - Flavius Josephus: Antiquitates Judaicae
Jesus the Nazorean, rather than Jesus of Nazareth!?

The beginning of the Lie!
And it came to pass that in those days Jesus came from the Nazarenes of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. - Mark 1:9

Of all the books and numerous articles written by H. Spencer Lewis two are my all time favourites:
The Mystical life of Jesus (1929)
ISBN-10: 0912057467 ISBN-13: 978-0912057460
The Secret Doctrines of Jesus (1939)
ISBN-10: 0912057912 ISBN-13: 978-0912057910
It may be that you'll be quite surprised at what you'll read in these books, since it does not exactly reflect the doctrine propagated by the Christian church. You remain however, in line with the open and tolerant character of our Order, as always, completely free in your opinions in this area. In that respect our role will be limited to transferring the ancient knowledge which the Rosicrucian tradition has been passing on this subject.
They are a fascinating, non-sectarian treatment of the unknown life of Jesus, based on records preserved in the archives of ancient monasteries of the Essenes and the Rosicrucian Order.
Of all the books I’ve ever read about Jesus, and I’ve seen one or two in my life such as the weird but fascinating “Jésus ou le Mortel Secret des Templiers” by fellow martinist Robert Ambelain, these two are still by far the very best and will give you a credible insight in what really happened 2000 years ago.
Ever heard of the Essenes? Well, back in 1929 Lewis did.
He wrote at length of the Essene sect and in great detail.
And consider this: The Dead Sea Scrolls that mentioned the Essenes for the first time in modern history were not discovered until 1945! This is easily verified and cannot simply be summarily dismissed by even the most obstinately entrenched of scoffers or dogmatists.
These books will either thrill you or completely shock you!
(Dr. Lewis himself issued a warning to his orthodox readers,
NOT to read the books!), but when you do read them, and which I recommend, you will never think of Jesus the same way again!
So read the books, “THINK”, and then decide for yourself.
The evidence for a 1st century town of Nazareth does not exist – not literary, not archaeologically, and not historically.
Deze dingen verklaar Ik u, die deel uitmaakt van de innerlijke cirkel; maar tot hen van de voorhof spreek Ik in gelijkenissen. Dat zij horen, die oren hebben om te horen. – Het evangelie van de heilige twaalfen.
