What about Christianity?

_{As the Piscean age approached, Wise Men again looked at the stars and read that it was time}

 _{for the age of the Fish - Pisces.  A Wise Man then came from Greece into Egypt and he was}

 _{known only as The Teacher of Righteousness.  He established two colonies of his followers}

 _{in Egypt where they were called Therapeuti.  Then he came into Asia Minor to establish} 

_{nine more colonies.  There they were known as Essenes or Healers.  The Essenes} 

_{flourished and gained great respect from the people.  They were the Wise Men} 

_{of the time and countries in which they lived.}

_{The Wise Men had noted that the start of each new age is marked by a flaming star, a}

 _{conjunction of three major planets shining in the heavens.  This star, viewed through an}

 _{acacia bush, was the "burning bush" that lead Moses to know that it was time to institute the}

 _{Aries age.  And this same star appeared over Bethlehem in 7 B.C., as reckoned by our}

 _{present calendar to mark the start of the Piscean age.}

_{Several years later a young man left the Essene colony in Galilee and proceeded over the the}

 _{River Jordan.  His name was John, and he began the Piscean religion.  He was the first to}

 _{take the people and throw them in the water and catch them back out like fish.  And he was}

 _{the first to seriously lay down a foundation for the coming of the Piscean Age.  But John was} 

_{pre-doomed to failure because of his innate weaknesses.}

_{Another young man, Jeshua ben Jusef, a Jew from Nazareth, was sent from the Essene}

 _{colony to pick up the work of bringing in the Piscean age.  His name translates into our}

 _{language as Jesus.  In general, the Wise Men accept the Bible story of the spirit of the} 

_{First Born, Chiro or Christ, descending upon the man Jesus: taking over his body for} 

_{a limited time; his mission and the crucifixion story.}

_{But how do we regard the man, Jesus?  Jesus came from a colony of Essenes, or Wise Men,}

 _{natural medicine doctors; gathered together a group of twelve men - a significant figure}

 _{among the Wise Men; healed the sick; raised the dead; cursed and destroyed the fig tree}

 _{when it displeased him; and taught a "secret" religion to his disciples.  In short he was}

 _{probably one of the greatest Wise Men who ever lived.}

_{His followers showed every evidence of following the Essene tradition; they lived}

_{communally; showed a strong love for each other, a significant mark of the Old Wisdom}

 _{Religion; had three degrees in their priesthood - Catecumens, Auditors, and the Faithful;} 

_{held themselves apart from the world; and openly called themselves the "Way" - all}

 _{indications that Jesus' secret religion was the Way to Perfection of the Wise Men.}

_{All scholars know (and most deplore) the fact that Jesus' beautiful philosophy was} 

_{soon changed so much that no modern church in any way practices his teachings.}

_{A peculiar fact then emerges.  The Old Wisdom Religion, while it had existed from the very}

 _{beginning, was interpreted into the tribal culture of the Semitic people, and became the}

_{Hebrew religion at its beginning in the days of Moses.  Thus it was the original Hebrew}

 _{religion fitted to its Age.}

_{The Old Wisdom Teachings were then re-interpreted at the beginning of the Piscean Age for}

 _{much later civilization, and thus the Old Wisdom Religion was the secret religion taught by}

 _{Jesus.  Obviously there is no resemblance between the Old Religion and the present day,}

 _{religious organizations calling themselves "Christian" - whatever that means.}
