harnessing the sun
Alissa points out that without the light and warmth of the sun, and the seasons created by Earth's passage around it, there would be no life as we know it – and this fact was known and harnessed by all early civilizations in order to sustain themselves.
“There is no greater force than the sun,” says Alissa, “and, because primitive man did not understand the rhythm of natural forces – fearing that the sun would one day disappear for good –elaborate rituals were designed to keep it shining and keep the food coming.”
“Later on, as civilizations progressed, clever men used knowledge of natural forces to project themselves, or others, as gods who had control over these forces and as such could live easy lives."
"Over time, as Christianity replaced sun worship with Jesus worship,” says Alissa, “the ancient roots of sun worshipping religions became lost -- and deliberately so because the priests had vested interests in keeping people ignorant.”
“What were merely fairy stories of Mithra the Sun God, for example, performing miracles and healing the sick -- probably even parting seas and walking on water -- somehow became historical and holy facts, not to be disputed, when they were later ascribed to Jesus."
