Etymology Tells the Story
Throughout this book has been a recurring theme that essentially weaves a tapestry of human unity not widely perceived. In order to appreciate further this unity, we can turn to etymology, or the study of the origin and development of words, to demonstrate how closely cultures are related and how there has been basically one mythos and creed with many different forms. We will also discover, therefore, further evidence of what has been demonstrated herein concerning the Christ conspiracy.
Etymology is also significant because, to the ancients, words were magical, as it was believed that the "Word of God" created the universe. To the ancients, then, words were not, as Allegro says, "just vocalic utterances communicating ideas from one mind to another; they were expressions of real power in themselves. The word had an entity of its own; once released it could effect the desire of its creator. The god's or prophet's word was a thing to be feared, and if maleficent, `turned back' as the Bible would say. Words which looked alike, we might think accidentally, were considered actually to be connected in some way.", Furthermore, the Hebrews, like other peoples, were fond of wordplay and used it extensively in their texts.
God the Father
Many people believe that the concept of God as Father originated with Christianity, but this assumption is erroneous, as numerous pre-Christian cultures had their God the Father as well. As it turns out, God the Mother has been a more popular idea for a longer period of time, but the Greeks, Indians and Egyptians, to name a few, also conceived of the male aspect of deity. In the Greek mythology, the sky-god father-figure, aka "Zeus Pateras," who is a myth and not a historical figure, takes his name from the Indian version, "Dyaus Pitar." Dyaus Pitar in turn is related to the Egyptian "Ptah," and from Pitar and Ptah comes the word "pater," or "father." "Zeus" equals "Dyaus," which became "Deos," "Deus" and "Dios"-"God." Dyaus also means sky, which is indicative of "God's" atmospheric and unhistoric nature. Dyaus Pitar also mutated into the Roman "Jupiter," likewise not a historical character.
Jesus Christ
Although most people think the name Jesus originated with the Christian godman, it was in fact quite common, particularly in Israel, where it was Joshua. As such the name appears in the Old Testament over 200 times. As demonstrated, the name Jesus also comes from the monogram of Dionysus, "IES," "Yes" or "Jes," among others. Jacolliot elaborates on these widespread names:
As we have seen, all these names of Jesus, Jeosuah, Josias, Josue derive from two Sanscrit words Zeus and Jezeus, which signify, one, the Supreme Being, and the other, the Divine Essence. These names, moreover, were common not only amongst the Jews, but throughout the East.2
Higgins relates that the followers of Krishna shouted "Jeye" or "Ieue" during celebrations.3 This "ieue," as we have seen, is the same as both YHWH and "Jesus," as admitted by Clement of Alexandria (153-214), who noted that "the Savior" had been represented by the letters "IE," the same designation found applied to Apollo on his temple at Delphi. The "Savior," of course, was not a carnalized, historical person but a spiritual construct that, as noted, was known to many mystery schools and sects, which could thus be termed "salvation cultists."
The title of Christos was applied not only to the kings and priests of Judah but also to a number of anointed savior-gods prior to the Christian era. As Walker says:
"Anointed One," a title of many
