Red Ice Creations <\/a>is a riveting site with lots to offer the conspiracy-minded and seekers of truth and interesting miscellany. A recent article <\/a>linked from Red Ice suggests the idea that the Sun actually is god, and the so-called Sun gods that share a common mythology represent the Sun itself.<\/p>\n

The author quotes from a book called The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold:<\/a><\/p>\n

The solar mythos, in fact, explains why the narratives of the sons of God previously examined are so similar, with a godman who is crucified and resurrected, who does miracles and has 12 disciples, etc. To wit, these stories were in actuality based on the movements of the sun through the heavens. In other words, Jesus Christ and the others upon whom he is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the gospel fable is merely a repeat of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun through the heavens. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Winter Solstice is associated with a number of dying and resurrected gods (the article cites sixteen different cultures). The Red Ice article goes on to list qualities of these resurrected gods:<\/p>\n

# The sun \u201cdies\u201d for three days at the winter solstice, to be born again on December 25th.<\/p>\n

# The Sun of God is \u201cborn of a virgin,\u201d which refers to both the new or “virgin\u201d moon and the constellation of Virgo.<\/p>\n

# The Sun\u2019s \u201cbirth\u201d is attended by the \u201cbright star,\u201d either Sirius\/Sothis or the planet Venus, and by the \u201cThree Kings,\u201d representing the three stars in the belt of Orion.<\/p>\n

# The sun at its\u2019 zenith, or 12 noon, is in the house or heavenly temple of the \u201cMost High;\u201d thus, \u201che\u201d begins \u201chis father\u2019s work\u201d at \u201cage\u201d 12. Jordan Maxwell relates, \u201cAt that point, all Egypt offered prayers to the \u201cMost High God.\u201d<\/p>\n

# The Sun enters into each zodiac sign at 30 degrees; hence, the \u201cSun of God\u201d begins his ministry at \u201cage\u201d 30. The Sun of the visible heavens has moved northward 30 degrees and stands at the gate of Aquarius, the water-bearer, or John the Baptist of the mystic planisphere, and here begins his work of ministry in Palestine.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d is the \u201cCarpenter\u201d who builds his daily \u201chouses\u201d of 12 two-hour divisions.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cfollowers\u201d or \u201cdisciples\u201d of the \u201cSun of God\u201d are the 12 signs of the zodiac, through which the Sun must pass.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d \u201cchanges water into wine\u201d by creating rain, ripening the grape on the vine and fermenting the grape juice.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d \u201cwalks on water,\u201d referring to its\u2019 reflection upon the waters’ surface.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d \u201ccalms the sea,\u201d as he rests in the boat of heaven. (Matthew 8:23-27)<\/p>\n

# When the \u201cSun of God\u201d is annually and monthly re-born, he brings life to his former self, raising it from the dead.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d triumphantly \u201crides an ass and her foal\u201d into the \u201cCity of Peace\u201d when it enters the sign of Cancer, which contains two stars called \u201clittle asses,\u201d and reaches its\u2019 fullness.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d is the \u201cLion\u201d when in Leo, the hottest time of the year, called the \u201cthrone of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d is \u201cbetrayed\u201d by the constellation of the Scorpion, the backbiter, the time of the year when the solar hero loses his strength. [NOTE: This is also the origin of the term backstabber, which also indicates betrayal].<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d is hung on a cross, which represents its\u2019 passing through the equinoxes, the vernal equinox being Easter [from the pagan festival Eostre].<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d darkens when it \u201cdies.\u201d The solar god as the sun of evening or autumn was the suffering, dying Sun, or the dead sun buried in the netherworld.<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d is with us \u201calways, to the close of the age,\u201d (Matthew 28:20) referring to the ages of the procession of the equinoxes. [NOTE: The procession of the equinoxes takes 26,000 years to complete one cycle.]<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d is the \u201cLight of the World\u201d and \u201ccomes on clouds, and every eye shall see him.\u201d<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d rising in the morning is the \u201cSavior of mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n

# The \u201cSun of God\u201d wears a corona, a \u201ccrown of thorns,\u201d or halo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article goes on to analyze DaVinci’s “The Last Supper” and the concept of illumination. It’s an interesting read and opens a door to many new questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
